While both Equal (aspartame) and saccharin-based sweeteners are safe to use, the quality of any pickled product made with either of these sweeteners is poor. Equal quickly loses its sweetness when heated while saccharin-based sweeteners become bitter. Source: Personal communication with Dr. Gerald Kuhn, Food Scientist, Penn State University, June 1989.
