Product Introduction
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener widely used in various food and beverage products. It is synthesized from two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, which contribute to its sweet flavor profile. Aspartame is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, allowing for a significant reduction in calorie content while maintaining sweetness.
Product Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of aspartame involves several key steps. Initially, aspartic acid and phenylalanine are combined under controlled reactions to form the aspartame compound. This process includes filtration and purification stages to ensure the final product meets stringent quality standards. The resulting product is then dried and milled to achieve the desired particle size. Quality control measures, including HPLC testing, validate the purity and effectiveness of the sweetener.
Product Applications
Aspartame is commonly found in a wide range of products, including diet sodas, sugar-free gum, and sugar substitutes for baking and cooking.
