Interest has never been greater in the development of new sweetness technologies which enable more cost-effective food and beverage product formulation, more sugar-like taste quality and reduction in caloric levels. Guidance, targeted to organizations considering development of new sweetness technologies, is given as to the specific requirements for successful commercialization of, new sweeteners and sweetness modulators. And the argument is made that a successful new sweetness technology must deliver on nine metrics, including 1) high maximal sweetness response, 2) clean flavor profile, 3) sugar-like temporal profile, 4) sugar-like sweetness adaptation profile, 5) safety, 6) stability, 7) solubility, 8) cost-effectiveness and 9) patentability. Importantly, the argument is also made that a viable new sweetness technology must deliver on all nine of these metrics in order to realize commercial success.
