compound sweetener

It refers to a type of sweetener that combines two or more natural or chemically synthesized sweeteners to enhance sweetness and flavor, compensate for or mask bad taste. It can partially or completely replace sucrose in food processing. 
Compound sweetener is a food sweetener made by combining multiple sweeteners, which can enhance sweetness and flavor, compensate for or mask bad taste. Compound sweeteners are scientific combinations of various sweeteners, which complement each other's strengths, make the taste closer to sucrose, have more stable performance, and often have synergistic effects with each other. They can be used in combination to enhance sweetness, improve aftertaste, and mask each other's negative flavors, reducing costs while making the product taste better. The combination of sweeteners is achieved by utilizing the synergistic effects between various sweeteners and the physiological characteristics of taste. It can: (1) reduce bad taste and increase flavor; (2) Shorten the taste difference at the beginning of taste perception; (3) Improve the stability of sweetness; (4) Reduce the total use of sweeteners and reduce costs. The combination of sweeteners and sweetener enhancers (such as ammonium glycyrrhetinic acid) has a synergistic effect. 
There may be synergistic effects between various sweeteners, and composite sweeteners have the characteristics of convenient use, high sweetness, pure sweetness, and reduced production costs, making them an important development direction for the development and application of sweeteners.
