Excerpt from Markets for Sweeteners

The principal noncaloric sweeteners used in the United States are saccharin, cyclamate, and mixtures of these. They are products of the chemical industry which have no nutritive value and are used primarily because of their taste and lack of calories. Cyclamate is 30 to 40 times as sweet as sugar, and saccharin about 300 times as sweet as sugar. They are used for dietetic and economic reasons.

A number of caloric sweeteners of minor economic importance are produced in the United States, including honey, maple sirup, cane sirup, sorghum sirup, and various edible molasses. Honey is the most important and the only one for which consumption has been increasing in recent years. These minor products are not discussed in this report.
