3 Sweeteners Market Overview 7/10-7/14

Aspartame Sweetener

Does Aspartame cause cancer? Is Aspartame bad for you? Is Aspartame dangerous? Questions like these have aroused heated discussions recently. The reason came after news broke online that global health agencies reviewed the sweetener’s safety for a potential link to cancer.

Aspartame is a common sweetener approved for decades in the United States. This sweetener is often used in beverages such as Zero Sugar Coke and Sprite, as well as chewing gum, cough medicine, toothpaste, and other products.

Since the beginning of this year, market quotations for Aspartame raw materials have been on a downward trend. After this news appeared, the market price (tonnage) of Aspartame powder sweetener (synthetic) dropped by about $0.3/kg compared with last month. Currently, the inventory of Aspartame powder (100 mesh) in the US market is insufficient. The basic quotation remained at $16.5/kg.

Acesulfame K Sweetener

This year, the market quotations of artificial sweetener Acesulfame K are generally declining, and there are few stocks in the United States. Basically, the lead time is 2-3 weeks. The market price of the latest Acesulfame K is around $8/kg.

Glucose Sweetener (Synthetic)

According to different Glucose manufacturing processes, it can be divided into Dextrose Monohydrate (the molecular formula is C6H12O6.H2O) and Dextrose Anhydrous (the molecular formula is C6H12O6). Glucose is a low-intensity sweetener (synthetic). Its raw material is corn. Because the market price of corn has risen, the market quotation of Glucose sweeteners is also growing. Compared with last week’s price, the market price of GlucoseGlucose has increased by $15-45/MT.

Dextrose Monohydrate VS Dextrose Anhydrous

Dextrose Monohydrate is divided into food-grade GlucoseGlucose and medical GlucoseGlucose. Food-grade Glucose is mainly used in the food processing and vegetable preservation industries. Dextrose Monohydrate can be hydrogenated to produce sorbitol. Pharmaceutical-grade dextrose monohydrate is used mainly as raw (auxiliary) material for oral medicine.

Dextrose Anhydrous powder can be produced by further processing crystalline glucose monohydrate. Dextrose Anhydrous is mainly used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical injections and infusions. The moisture difference between the two is about 8 points.

Dextrose monohydrate tastes cool, and its properties are snow-white powder with luster. Dextrose Anhydrous has less coolness and higher sweetness, its properties are white powder, and its gloss is not as high as dextrose monohydrate powder.

In addition, the difference between the two can be seen whether the quality changes after heating. The water of crystallization turns into water vapor when heated.
