Sweeteners may be used for food preservation, fermentation, baking, and food browning and caramelization. In fermentation, sweetener is used for brewing and wine making. Sweetener is also applicable to confer texture, tenderization, and leavening. Natural sweeteners are nutritive and flavored, thus preferable for both food as well as flavoring.
