Abstract

Artificial sweeteners are being used extensively especially by diabetes and obesity and have entered most of the food industries, some of them contain natural compounds, but they are low in sweetness. Others are classified as high in sweetness, which are dangerous and harmful to health because they contain chemical additives, which are still under study, also in markets there are pure sweeteners or sweeteners mixed with these industrial chemical additives. A selection of one common and commercially available table-top artificial Sweetener in Sudanese Markets (süssina) was considered. The study was conducted by using Raman spectroscopy Model Horiba LabRAM HR 3D to examine the components of these industrial chemicals additives in the normal situation and after heating at boiling point of water. The study showed the presence of sorbitol (C6H14O6), a natural component of corn, Aspartame (C14H18N2O3) and saccharin (C7H4NNaO3S) which are artificial chemical additives.
