Abstract: A mono- and di-saccharide based sweetener composition is provided which consists essentially of a blend of fructose and sucrose. Such sweetener composition is useful for sweetening a wide variety of foodstuffs and other edible formulations. When such sweetener composition is used to sweeten foods, smaller quantities of sweetener is required as compared to that which is needed for equal sweetening power when sucrose is used as the sole sweetening ingredient.
