Cover Story: This review provides a comprehensive analysis of sweeteners, including polyols and plant-derived alternatives, with emphasis on their sweetening potency, glycemic index, mechanisms of action, and technological applications in the food industry. The increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes has intensified interest in non-nutritive sweeteners. Compounds are categorized as synthetic or naturally occurring, highlighting their physicochemical properties, relative sweetness (100–2,200,000 times sucrose), and glycemic response, for formulating diabetes-friendly products. The manuscript examines interactions with taste receptors, health implications, safety concerns, processing feasibility, market dynamics, environmental stability, and the economic challenges of large-scale production, particularly for plant-based sweeteners. View this paper
