KARLSRUHE, Germany—Scientists have created a new test that can detect seven commonly used artificial sweeteners in waste water.
As reported by AlphaGalileo, researchers used the new analytical method and were able to look for seven different artificial sweeteners (cyclamate, acesulfame, saccharin, aspartame, neotame, neohesperidin dihydrochalcone and sucralose) simultaneously, and show, for the first time, that a number of commonly used artificial sweeteners are present in German waste and surface water.
