Product Description
Aspartame is an artificial nonhydrocarbon Non-Saccharide sweetener that has gained popularity as a low-calorie alternative to sugar. It is made by the enzymic catalytic reaction or chemical reaction between two amino acids, L-Phenylalanine and L-Aspartic. It is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide.
Aspartame is used in a variety of products, including soft drinks, chewing gum, and baked goods. Due to the fact that it is approximately 200 times sweeter than Sucrose or table sugar, so even though it produces four kilocalories of energy per gram when metabolized, the quantity of Aspartame needed to produce a sweet taste is so small that its caloric contribution is negligible. One of the biggest advantages of Aspartame is that it provides a sweet taste without the added calories of sugar. This makes it an ideal choice for people who want to enjoy their favorite foods without worrying about their weight or blood sugar levels.
The taste of Aspartame and other artificial sweeteners differs from that of table sugar in the times of onset and how long the sweetness lasts, though Aspartame comes closest to sugar's taste profile among approved artificial sweeteners.
The sweetness of Aspartame lasts longer than sucrose, so it is often blended with other artificial sweeteners such as saccharin and Acesulfame-K to produce an overall taste more like sugar.
The stability of Aspartame under heating can be improved to some extent by encasing it in fats or in Maltodextrin. The stability when dissolved in water depends markedly on pH. At room temperature, it is most stable at pH 4.3, where its half-life is nearly 300 days. Most soft-drinks have a pH between 3 and 5, where Aspartame is reasonably stable. In products that may require a longer shelf life, such as syrups for fountain beverages.
