What are sugar substitutes / sweeteners?

As the name suggests, sugar substitutes are supposed to replace sugar. Our aim is to produce products with less or no sugar in order to offer healthier alternatives.

Sweeteners chemically belong to alcohol, but have nothing to do with alcohol itself. They are classified as carbohydrates.

The most important thing about sweeteners is that they have a much higher sweetening power than sugar. They have little or no influence on the metabolism.
