超级甜味剂

    传统上，软饮料产业的创新速度一直都很慢。但《饮料文摘》（Beverage-Digest）的出版人兼编辑约翰•希舍表示，几家主要的软饮料生产和配方公司近年来在低热量甜味剂的研发方面付出的努力将从2013年或2014年开始获得回报。“软饮料产业的新的圣杯将盛满天然的低热量甜味剂，味道和常规的砂糖软饮料一样，”希舍说。“它将彻底改变这个行业的未来增长前景。”

Superior sweeteners

    Traditionally, the beverage industry has been slow to innovate. But Beverage-Digest editor and publisher John Sicher says R&D from major soft drink and ingredient companies around new and improved diet sweeteners should start to payoff in 2013 or 2014. "The holy grail for the beverage industry is to have a natural diet sweetener that tastes the same as regular soft drinks," Sicher says. "It could be a game changer for the industry in terms of future growth."
