Sweeteners can be roughly divided into two groups bulk and intense sweeteners. Prodolliet (1996) and Gloria (2000) reviewed thoroughly the analysis and properties of intense sweeteners acesulfame-K, alitame, cyclamate, aspartame, glycyrrhizin, neohesperidin DC, saccharin, stevioside, sucralose and thaumatin. They are generally used in low calorie products such as diet... 

Sample preparation for HPLC analysis of alitame will depend on the type of food (16,33), and complex matrices may be clarified with Carrez solutions or by means of C18 disposable cartridge (33), as described in Sec. I.C. 

RPLC with MS detection was used for the analysis of seven artificial sweeteners (aspartame, saccharin, acesulfame-K, neotame, sucralose, cyclamate, and alitame) and one natural sweetener (stevioside). Samples were extracted using methanokwater and injected without any cleanup into the LC—MS system. Separation is carried out using a Cis column and gradient elution. Sweeteners were quantified using selective-ionization recording (SIR) at m/z 178, 397, 377, 293, 641, 312, 162, and 182 for cyclamate, sucralose, neotame, aspartame, stevioside, alitame, acesulfame-K, and saccharin, respectively, with a warfarin sodium m/z = 307) used as an internal standard [24]. For a detailed discussion of other analytical methods to determine artificial sweeteners, refer to [25].
