Isomerases which convert glucose into the sweeter fructose were commercially introduced in the 1960s. Their introduction, coupled with manufacturing technology to immobilize these enzymes, led to the introduction of high-fructose syrup (HFS) in the United States in 1967. Refinements in production processes produced a liquid sweetener that could replace liquid sucrose on a one-to-one basis. At the same time, major upheavals in the world sugar market caused major sugar users to seek such an alternative.

The most important physical and chemical properties, considered in their order of relative importance to the candy man, are (1) relative sweetness (2) solubility and crystallization characteristics (3) density of liquid sweeteners and moisture... 

Recently, much attention has been given to the production of liquid sweeteners as an alternative to cane sugar using inexpensive starch-containing natural materials as the primary feed stock. This situation exists in the United States as this country is not self sufficient in the production of cane, but must rely heavily on importation mainly from South America and the Caribbean. The main source of sta rch in the United States comes from corn (Zea mays) and the liquid sweetener commercially produced from this material is called high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). The current method of production of HFCS is via wet milling which exploits the physical properties of the whole corn constituents (oil, starch, gluten, and fiber) for their separation coupled with enzymatic hydrolysis of the starch fraction to monosaccharides.

Bitencourt-Mendes et al. [90] described a method for saccharin determination in liquid sweetener products. The method is based on the precipitation reaction of Ag(I) ions with saccharin in aqueous medium (pH 3.0), using a FIA system with merging zones, the suspension was stabilized with 5 g/L Triton X-100. Based on interference studies performed with the substances commonly found in liquid sweeteners, such as sodium cyclamate, methylparaben, sodium aspartame, and benzoic and citric acids, at the analyte-to-interferent mole ratio of up to 1 10 no interference with the saccharin determination was observed. The presence of chloride ions interferes with the method, but a preceding liquid-liquid saccharin extraction with ethyl acetate was successfully employed to overcome this drawback.
