This comprehensive handbook is a valuable resource for academic researchers and professionals seeking detailed information on sweeteners. It explores both natural and synthetic sweeteners, considering their health-related and economic aspects. Renowned authors, primarily from academia but also from the industry, provide summaries on the chemistry, biological, and pharmacological aspects of sweeteners, as well as their bioavailability and applications.

The book introduces various substance classes of sweeteners, primarily derived from plants, including glycosidic and terpenoid sweeteners, peptidic sweeteners, sweet-tasting proteins, and protein-derived sweeteners (such as stevioside, sucralose, aspartame, thaumatin, and brazzein). Chapters delve into topics such as the isolation and purification of these compounds, their physical, chemical, and biological properties, pharmacological activities, and their critical evaluation in terms of health and ecotoxicological considerations.

A particular focus is placed on low or no-calorie sweeteners, which are experiencing increasing demand and intensive research activities. This reference work serves as a valuable resource for graduate students, scholars, researchers, professionals working in chemistry, botany, biotechnology, pharmacology, agricultural research, as well as the food industry, and marketing of sweeteners. It provides essential information and insights into the world of sweeteners, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in these fields.
