Aspartame CAS:22839-47-0
Powerful Sweetening Effect:Aspartame delivers sweetness that is 150 to 200 times stronger than sucrose, allowing for much lower dosage levels while keeping production costs economical.
Excellent Sensory Qualities:It offers a pure, fresh sweet flavor with no unpleasant aftertaste, making it especially effective for boosting the taste of citrus and fruit‑flavored drinks and foods.
Tooth‑Friendly and Low‑Calorie Benefits:It helps reduce overall calorie intake and does not cause tooth decay, making it ideal for weight‑control products and items designed for people with diabetes.
Strong Safety Performance:It shows lower toxicity levels compared with many other artificial sweeteners, creating a reliable safety standard for use in consumer goods.
Aspartame is an artificially synthesized sweetener that belongs to the category of amino acid dipeptide derivatives. It was first discovered in 1965 in the course of medical research focused on developing anti-ulcer medications. This substance features many outstanding properties: it provides extremely strong sweetness—150 to 200 times that of sucrose—so only a very small amount is required in applications. It also offers a pleasant taste and effectively amplifies the flavor of citrus and various fruits.
Application of Aspartame
1.Asparagus sweet is artificial synthesis of low calorie sweeteners, often used with sugar or other sweeteners. It can be used for all kinds of food, according to the production need to use, the general dosage is 0.5g/kg.
2.It Is used as a food additive, high sweetness nutritive sweeteners.
3.Non nutritive sweeteners. Flavoring agents.
4.According to China GB2760-90 provisions for all kinds of food, the maximum amount of use as normal production needs. According to the FAO/WHO (1984) provisions for sweets, dosage of 0.3%, 1.0% gum, beverage 0.1%, 0.5% of breakfast cereals, and used for the preparation of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, cardiovascular patients with low sugar, low calorie health food, dosage depends on the need to set. Can also be used as a flavor enhancer.
Aspartame is a L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine (body needed nutrients) two peptide synthesis, can be completely absorbed by the human body metabolism, non-toxic harmless, safe and reliable, cool and refreshing taste like sugar, but is 200 times sweeter than sucrose, the heat is only 1/200 sucrose, eat no gingivae that does not affect the blood glucose, obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) identified as A (1) level of sweetener, has been in the world more than 130 countries and regions approved for use. Widely added in a variety of food, non-staple food and all kinds of hard and soft drinks, the use of aspartame has more than 4000 kinds of varieties. Can be used as food additives, high sweetness sweeteners with nutrition. Packing: 25 kg fibreboard drum, lined with plastic bag.
