چکیده
Various manufacturers especially in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries employ sugars in their products. Sugars can be extracted from plant or microbial sources or they can be chemically synthesized. The majority of sugars are purchased as crystalline white powders and the most common examples are glucose, sucrose, lactose, fructose, maltose and xylitol. Protein-based sweeteners such as thaumatin, curculin and monellin are also used. Substituting artifi cial sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin and sucralose can signifi cantly reduce or virtually eliminate the calories associated with sugar content in food and beverages.
