Together with the increasing health awareness levels of consumers’, artificial food additives have been highly criticized by the public. However, these kinds of sweeteners are still being used widely all over the world. One of the sectors that prefer mostly these kinds of sweeteners is the soft drink industry. High fructose corn syrup, which has been associated with serious health problems recently, is one of these additives which is highly preferred in the soft drink industry. Upon examining the situation, it is understood that there is a conflict between the implementations of the soft drink industry and consumer attitudes towards them. However, it is seen that the consumers’ perspective is not clarified enough empirically in terms of this issue. This means that the players of the soft drink industry have a lack of insight in terms of consumer thoughts and attitudes regarding artificial sweetener usage in soft drinks. Owing to this research gap in the literature and the importance of the subject in terms of consumer well-being, this study aims to explore the antecedents for the acceptance of high fructose corn syrup usage in soft drinks. To reach this aim, four research questions represented to understand how frequent consumers prefer soft drinks containing high fructose corn syrup, to reveal consumers’ attitudes and acceptance towards high fructose corn syrup and to understand how nutritional knowledge and nutritional information interest affect consumers’ acceptance specifically on high fructose corn syrup usage in soft drinks. To answer these questions, a structured survey was developed and conducted on 888 soft drink consumers who are aware of high fructose corn syrup in soft drinks as an additive

Food addtives plays an important role in the production of  beverages to improve the quality, taste and shelf life of beverages products significantly. Saccharin is widely used as artificial sweetener in soft drinks manufacturing industries, including branded soft drinks with plastic packaging. The purpose of this research was to determine the levels of saccharin in branded soft drinks with plastic packaging sold at Pasar Kodim Pekanbaru. The samples were collected by purposive random sampling. five samples were analyzed by qualitative test using resorcinol reagent and quantitative test with alkalimetric titration methods. The qualitative test showed that all  samples were positive for saccharin indicated by the changes of color turning green fluorescence. The level of saccharin in the samples ranged between 160 – 580 mg/kg of ingredients. The higest  levels of saccharin (580 mg/kg) was assayed in sample E, and the smallest level ( 160 mg/kg)was assayed in sample B and C. According to Permenkes no.722/Menkes/Per/IX/1988 concerning food additives, maximal saccharin levels allowed in soft drink was 300 mg/kg of ingredients or 5 mg/kg of body weight. Only one sample (sample E) exceeded the limit of maximal saccharin levels allowed in soft drink. Samples A, B, C, dan D that had been tested could be considered as safe to be consumed, but the daily intake should be in caution.

Excessive Intake

The number of patients with diabetes was approximately 463 million worldwide in 2019, with almost 57.6% of this population concentrated in Asia. Asians often develop type 2 diabetes (T2D), even if they are underweight and consume a smaller amount of food. Soft drinks contain large amounts of sweeteners, such as high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Excessive intake of HFCS drinks is considered to be one of the causes of T2D. In the present study, we investigated the effect of excessive consumption of HFCS–water on glucose tolerance and obesity under conditions of controlled caloric intake using a mouse model. Three-week-old male ICR mice were divided into two groups and given free access to 10% HFCS–water or deionized water. The caloric intake was adjusted to be the same in both groups using a standard rodent diet. The excess HFCS–water intake did not lead to obesity, but led to impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) due to insulin-secretion defect. It affected glucose and fructose metabolism; for example, it decreased the expression of glucokinases, ketohexokinase, and glucose transporter 2 in the pancreas. These results suggest that excessive consumption of HFCS drinks, such as soft drinks, without a proper diet, induces nonobese IGT due to insulin-secretion defect.
