EVALUATION OF THE SYNTHETIC SWEETENERS USAGE IN BEVERAGES AND TABLE SWEETENERS SOLD IN CZECH REPUBLIC

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The usage of synthetic sweeteners in beverages has become increasingly popular as a way to providesweetness without the added calories of traditional sugar. These sweeteners, such as aspartame,sucralose, and saccharin, offer a low-calorie alternative for individuals seeking to reduce their sugarintake or manage weight. However, there are risks associated with their consumption. For example,food adulteration with sweeteners may be done by adding synthetic sweeteners to the food in orderto lower the energetic value without scaring the consumer with a food additive. Another example canbe the substitution of natural steviol glycosides (E960) with synthetic ones to lower the price of theproduct because synthetic sweeteners can be up to 5 times cheaper than steviol glycosides. Inaddition, undeclared synthetic sweetener aspartame (E951) in food products can lead to potentialhealth problems for people suffering from phenylketonuria. The usage of sweeteners in the EuropeanUnion is strictly regulated in Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 by setting limits for each approvedsweetener. Therefore, in order to understand the real situation on the market, sets of energy drinksand soft drinks as well as table sweeteners were analysed for the presence of 7 synthetic sweetenersemploying UHPLC-MS. The obtained results were later compared with the established limits as well asconsumption of individual sweeteners was assessed.
