BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - What's the difference between sugar and artificial sweetener?

11.11.2009 – 11:20  BASF SE    [newsroom]

Ludwigshafen (ots) -

Sugar and sweetener - both taste sweet, which
is just another way of saying that both interact with the 'sweetness'
taste receptors on your tongue. But that's about all they have in 
common. Otherwise, sugar and sweetener don't chemically resemble each
other in the least. In fact, they belong to completely different 
classes of substances. In entertaining episodes our Chemical Reporter
answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our 
everyday life.
