Liquid products sweetening agents

Alicyclic amines are used as pesticides, plasticizers, explosives, inhibitors of metal corrosion and sweetening agents as well as having uses in the pharmaceuticals industry. Aniline hydrogenation has been studied in the literature with the main reaction products cyclohexylamine, dicyclohexylamine, A-phenylcyclohexylamine, diphenylamine, ammonia, benzene, cyclohexane, cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone [1-9], The products formed depend on the catalyst used, reaction temperature, solvent and whether the reaction is performed in gas or liquid phase. For example high temperature, gas-phase aniline hydrogenation over Rh/Al203 produced cyclohexylamine and dicyclohexylamine as the main products [1],... 

Acesulfame potassium is used as an intense sweetening agent in cosmetics, foods, beverage products, table-top sweeteners, vitamin and pharmaceutical preparations, including powder mixes, tablets, and liquid products. It is widely used as a sugar substitute in compounded formulations, and as a toothpaste sweetener. ... 

Saccharin sodium is an intense sweetening agent used in beverages, food products, table-top sweeteners, and pharmaceutical formulations such as tablets, powders, medicated confectionery, gels, suspensions, liquids, and mouthwashes see Table 1. It is also used in vitamin preparations. 

Natural Gasoline. Even though gas desulfurization as by the use of monoethanolamine or other agents (see Table 22-4 and Fig. 20-18) is practiced for the removal and/or recovery of hydrogen sulfide from the gas, it is still necessary to sweeten the liquid products and to dry the propane. With especially sour products, the system indicated by M. H Rahmes (see Fig, 10-7) is extensively used. If the mercaptan content... 

The molecules produced by living organisms, natural products, are employed in our lives as flavors, fragrances, pharmaceuticals, nontraditional medicines, dyes, and pesticides, among other uses. The products of chemistry are employed in our food as preservatives, artificial sweeteners, thickeners, dyes, taste enhancers, flavors, and textnring agents. Chemistry creates such key materials as plastics, ceramics, fabrics, alloys, semiconductors, liquid crystals, optical media, and biomaterials. Chemistry also does many kinds of analysis and these include measurements of air quahty, water quality, food safety, and the search for substances that compromise the enviromnent or workplace safety. 

Additives are all formulation constituents other than the active ingredient. Although additives could be classified into excipients and vehicles (excipients for solid preparations and vehicles for liquid ones), there are several other agents used in pharmaceutical formulations with specific functions such as preservatives, sweeteners, coatings, colorants, antioxidants, surfactants, emulsifying agents, and flavors. Since they comprise a vast amount of products, this section will deal with additives for compounding pharmaceutical products for internal use only [17,18]. 

Flavor enhancers are used imiversally in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Sugar, carboxylic acids (e.g., citric, malic, and tartaric), common salt (NaCl), amino acids, some amino acid derivatives (e.g., monosodium glutamate—MSG), and spices (e.g., peppers) are most often employed. Although extremely effective with proteins and vegetables, MSG has limited use in pharmaceuticals because it is not a sweetener. Citric acid is most frequently used to enhance taste performance of both liquid and solid pharmaceutical products, as well as a variety of foods. Other acidic agents, such as malic and tartaric acids, are also used for flavor enhancement. In oral liquids, these acids contribute unique and complex organoleptic effects, increasing overall flavor quality. Common salt provides similar effects at its taste threshold level in liquid pharmaceuticals. Vanilla, for example, has a delicate bland flavor, which is effectively enhanced by salt.
