have long been employed in beverages,
but their use has been extended to other foodstuffs as
they provide the most appropriate means of energy
control, replacing sugar in foods such as baked goods,
ice creams and frozen desserts. In these cases, where the

of the product, the use of intensive sweeteners requires
the incorporation of a low-energy bulking agent into
the product [1]
