What makes these favorite snacks so appealing? They all are sweet treats. Their commercial importance makes the question of how some molecules produce the sweetness sensation and how synthetic, low-calorie substitutes can be created an important one. The symposium on Sweeteners and Sweetness Theory, starting with an "Overview of Sweetners", presents interesting chemistry that explores these questions.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
