In conclusion, the experiments indicate that sweetness and
flavor information available about intense sweeteners is very
useful, but food scientists and formulators need to keep in mind
that this data can serve only as a guide. Additional work is
needed to optimize the level of the intense sweetener in the spe-
cific food product. If more than one intense sweetener is used,
the probability of developing a product that is close to the
sucrose-sweetened control is much higher. However, additional
factors must be considered, including potential synergy between
the intense sweeteners that reduces the level of sweetener
needed to achieve the desired sweetness intensity.
