Abstract
AbstractDifferent tabletop sugar and zero to low‐calorie sweetener samples (sachets) of different suppliers, taken randomly, at different cafeterias in Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay have been selected, for spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction analysis, to figure out if they can present non‐friendly components in their composition. Traces of sulfites and aluminosilicates make only 2 out of 16 tabletop sugar sweetener samples safe. On the other hand, traces of sucrose, lactose, sulfites, and aspartame, make only 1 out of 13 tabletop zero to low‐calorie sweetener samples, safe.
