Nutrinova has brought a breakthrough sweetener that can be used in sauces. This sweetener is a blend of Sunett(Acesulfame K) and Sucralose. This combination is perfect for sauces and Sunett gives rapid sweetness and does not have lingering sweetness. Sunett is 200 times sweeter than sugar, calorie free and heat stable. This is the reason Sunett is used instead of sugar as the manufacturers can use low doses on high intensity sweeteners and can reduce the costs.
This formulation is replaced by Aspartame, as Aspartame cannot be stable in all processing and storage condition for sauces. Nutrinova has come up with samples of this Sunett for the manufacturers so that they can substitute Sunett for sugars in their sauces. As stress is on low-cal, less sweet stuff, this formulation is indeed a breakthrough. If it is taken from the perspective of the food industry it is profitable and saves time, as it is highly synergistic, stable, withstand pasteurization, hot filling and aseptic filling without any loss of sweetness.
Though I feel that sauces can be made well without sugars, but it is good to have an alternative sweetener, which is a healthy formulation.
