Artificial Sweeteners in Water Testing
Artificial sweeteners are used extensively in the making and production of food products and beverages. Sweeteners are not metabolized or altered by most biological processes, including the human digestive system. Artificial sweeteners are eliminated from the body typically in bodily waste. Wastewater treatment facilities, which will treat waste water, are ineffective in removing or degrading sweeteners. Based on the stability and high aqueous solubility, sweeteners are a good tracer for waste water.
EMSL Analytical can accept water samples for analysis and quantification of select artificial sweeteners. Samples can be sent to our Food Chemistry Division in Cinnaminson, New Jersey for analysis.
