These results allowed establishing the equivalent concentrations
of each sweetener and the ideal sucrose concentration (9.4 g/
100 g) of passion fruit juice. The relationship between the sweetness
intensities and the sweetener concentrations is represented in
logarithmic scale in Fig. 2. These results allowed the determination
of the concentrations of each sweetener equivalent to the sucrose
concentration (9.4 g/100 g) in passion fruit juice.
The position of the curves indicates the relation between
sweetness intensities and concentrations corresponding to 9.4 g
sucrose/100 g sample. The sweetener situated nearest to the y-axis
has a lower concentration required to express the same sweetness
as sucrose (9.4 g/100 g), and therefore has a greater intensity of
sweet taste. This figure shows the relationship between the
sweetness intensities and the sweeteners concentrations, represented
on a logarithmic scale.
