Definition of relative sweetness • Relative sweetness : • How sweet a product/sweetener is relative to sucrose. • Sweetness of sucrose set to 1 • Pure sucrose is the reference • No "objective" measurement of sweetness available • Sweetness measured in taste panel evaluations • Tasting is influenced by • temperature • concentration • pH • other ingredients • colour • sensitivity of the individual • mood & focus of the individual.
Parameters in Sweetening System Specification • Sweetness and flavour profiles for individual compounds/ recipes • Time-Intensity profiles, lingering effects • Sweetener synergy • Sucrose / fructose/ glucose • Natural-Artificial/HIS • Sweetness enhancement • Flavour masking
Time / intensity profiles Sødme Fruktose Sakkarose Glukose Tid Source: Shallenberger RS, Taste Chemistry, 1993
Relative sweetness of fructose Relative 1.5 sweetness 1.0 0.5 0°C 20°C 40°C 60°C Temperature Source: Shallenberger RS, Taste Chemistry, 1993
Sucrose sweetness also varies with temperature Sweetness of sucrose Temperature °C 5-10 32-38 40-60 Ref.: Shimutzu 1959, Paulus & Reich 1980
Sucrose sweetness – threshold and saturation Sweetness SATURATION THRESHOLD Sucrose
Sucrose "is" Glucose and Fructose Sucrose will invert at low pH or/and high temperature pH3,0 pH 2,4

Balancing the basic tastes SWEET SOUR SALT BITTER
Sweetness enhancement • Low concentration of salt (NaCl) enhance sweetness, high concentration of NaCl depresses sweetness. • Sucrose taste intensity is enhanced by xylitol, fructose and glucose. • Sweetener synergy • Sucrose-aspartame 11% • Sucrose-acesulfameK 14% • Sucrose-cyclamate 15% • Sucrose-saccharin 19% • Ammonium glycyrrizinate (Magnasweet) • Caramel compounds enhance sweetness • Maltol 5-75 ppm enhances sucrose sweetness 15% • Furaneol 12 ppm enhances sucrose sweetness 9% • Ethanol enhances sucrose sweetness. (8=10% in 10%ethanol, 7=10% in 20% ethanol)

Competition for National Teams Rank the level of sweetness • 4 samples of natural sugars dissolved in pure water • All 4 samples have different sweetness levels (7-12% sweetness) • Rank the sweetness !
