Product Introduction
Alitame is a non-caloric sweetener known for its intense sweetness, approximately 2000 times sweeter than sucrose. It is a dipeptide sweetener, formed from aspartic acid and alanine, which makes it different from other common sweeteners. Alitame is stable under various conditions, making it suitable for a wide range of food applications. It has gained attention due to its low glycemic index, positioning it favorably for diabetic and weight-conscious consumers.
Product Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing of alitame involves a synthesis process that combines specific amino acids. The starting materials, aspartic acid and alanine, undergo a series of chemical reactions, including acylation and cyclization, to form alitame. The reaction conditions such as pH and temperature are carefully controlled to ensure high purity and yield. After synthesis, the product is purified through crystallization and filtration processes to achieve the desired quality standards.
Product Applications
Alitame is primarily used as a low-calorie sweetener in various food products, including beverages, dairy items, and desserts. Its stable characteristics under heat and acidic conditions allow it to be used in processed foods.
