The commonly obtained natural sweeteners are honey, molasses, maple syrup, coconut sugar, agave nectar, date sugar, and xylitol.
Furthermore, it is easy to procure raw materials for the production of artificial sweeteners as compared to that of natural sweeteners. The costs of these natural raw materials are generally higher than the chemicals required to manufacture artificial sweeteners. Also, the processing of artificial sweeteners consumes lesser effort and time than that of natural sweeteners. Natural sweeteners have to undergo various tests and trials and labeling norms & regulations to be labeled as a natural sweetener. All these factors accumulatively add up to the costs of production, ultimately leading to adding up in the cost price. Thus, natural sweeteners are premium priced as compared to artificial sweeteners.
