A relatively heat stable, intense sweetener composition comprises a dipeptide sweetener and a heat stabilizing amount of a sugar acid lactone. The sugar acid lactone and the dipeptide sweetener can be present in a dry weight ratio of about 2 to about 20, inclusive. The dipeptide sweetener of choice is aspartame, and the sugar acid lactone of choice is glucono delta lactone. The composition can include a polyhydric alcohol, preferably fructose, as a constituent to perform additional functions in food preparations, e.g. sweetening, bulking, softening, flavouring and the like. |
