Intense sweeteners are in fact a highly diverse group of substances from a chemical standpoint. Their function is merely for sweetening and, because of their normally very high sweetening capacity, are commonly used only in small doses. For the most part, intense sweeteners are calorie-free and are often used in combination with other intense sweeteners. They are also frequently used to sweeten polyols. Intense sweeteners are approved for human consumption as food additives in Europe.
