The present invention addresses the problem of providing, by a simple method, a method for conferring photodegradation resistance on cocoa butter, which has low photodegradation resistance. By performing degumming treatment using phospholipase, photodegradation resistance can be conferred to cocoa butter. When white chocolate was prepared using the thus-obtained cocoa butter, photodegradation was remarkably suppressed. Although any kind of phospholipase may be used, the use of phospholipase A2 is preferred as the effect therewith is particularly remarkable.

Sweeteners made from the co-crystallization of 3-(4-amino-2,2-dioxide-1H-benzo[c][1,2,6]thiadiazin-5-yloxy)-2,2-dimethyl-N-propylpropanamide (Compound I) having the structure:

##STR00001##

or salt thereof, with sugar in various ratios. The sugar co-crystallized sweeteners are very soluble in water and have no dusting problems.
