Product Overview

Aspartame is a high-potency, low-calorie sweetener derived from two amino acids, L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. Its sugar-like taste profile, without lingering or metallic aftertastes, makes it an ideal choice for formulators seeking to reduce sugar content in their products. Aspartame's unique composition, based on protein building blocks, allows it to be metabolized like other protein foods, making it an excellent option for tooth-friendly and diabetic-friendly applications. With its exceptional sweetness intensity, approximately 200 times that of sugar, aspartame enables the creation of low- and no-calorie food and beverages that meet both taste and calorie goals. Its versatility and compatibility with various ingredients make it a trusted sweetener solution for personal care and nutrition formulators.
