Abstract

Excessive sugar consumption is a risk factor for becoming overweight. Due to the increase in consumer nutritional awareness, functional beverages with reduced caloric content have attracted great interest in recent years. The current state of knowledge on the feasibility of using low- and no-calorie sweeteners (LNCS) as substitutes for traditional sugar in the production of functional beverages while maintaining their osmolality properties is limited. Selected sweeteners were examined for the presence of five selected macronutrients (calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium, and sulfur) and iron by ICP-OES, osmolality, total dissolved solids (TDS), and electrical conductivity (EC) in their solutions. The obtained results formed the basis for evaluating the applicability of the studied sweeteners in the production of functional beverages.
Keywords: sweeteners; ions; functional drink; osmolality sweeteners; ions; functional drink; osmolality
