| dextrin | dextrose | diacetyl | diglyceride | erythritol |
| Equal | food starch | fructose (any form) | glucose | glutamate |
| glutamic acid | glycerides | glycerin | glycerol | glycerol monooleate |
| glycine | hemicellulose | high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) | hydrogenated starch | hydrolyzed vegetable protein |
| inositol | inverse syrup | inversol | invert sugar | isoflavones |
| lactic acid | lecithin | leucine | lysine | malitol |
| malt | malt syrup | malt extract | maltodextrin | maltose |
