Description:	Sweeteners, artificial sweeteners, or high intensity sweeteners are natural or syn- thetic products imparting sweetness to the food when used as food additives. These nonsugar compounds are hardly metabolized and have little or no calorific value. Thus, demand for these sweeteners is increasing day by day for health cautious people and for diabetics. In America, average consumption of added sugar is 165 pounds ( 75 kg) per person per year. Due to increase in obesity-related diseases, certain governments have taken measures to reduce sugar consumption, which causes indirectly financial burden on government exchequer in the form of medical treatment and healthcare. Though some of these sweeteners were known since long time, recent surge in demand of these products has initiated research for search of novel compounds and their derivatives, genetic modifications leading to production of these compounds in other systems, their biological effects, and finding their industrial applications. Many confectionary and soft drink products as sugar free or“diet” are available in the market. This type of product development requires evaluation on several parameters for their industrial use. This treatise is a timely compilation of all facts about the sweeteners. The chapters are written by leading scientists of the world from all the continents.
