  • Title: The effect of sweeteners on perceived viscosity.
    Author: Theunissen MJ, Kroeze JH.
    Journal: Chem Senses; 1995 Aug; 20(4):441-50. PubMed ID: 8590029.
    Abstract:
    Two different sweeteners, sucrose and aspartame, were matched in perceived sweetness intensity. These solutions were thickened with carboxymethylcellulose to six different viscosity levels. Sucrose and aspartame appeared to decrease perceived viscosity of the solutions at a specific sweetener concentration, at all viscosity levels. However, in a second similar experiment with three viscosity levels and seven sucrose concentrations no effect of sucrose concentration on perceived viscosity was found. Reasons for these conflicting results are discussed. No definite conclusions about the effect of sweeteners on perceived viscosity can as yet be drawn.
