Product Introduction
Neotame is a non-nutritive sweetener that offers a sweetness intensity significantly greater than that of sucrose. It is derived from aspartame and provides a zero-calorie option for various food and beverage products. Due to its unique chemical structure, neotame remains stable under heat, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including baked goods and drinks.
Product Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of neotame involves a series of controlled reactions starting with amino acids like aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Through esterification and other chemical transformations, neotame is synthesized. Stringent quality control measures ensure that the final product meets food safety standards and purity requirements.
Product Applications
Neotame is primarily used as a sweetener in low-calorie, sugar-free products. It is commonly found in soft drinks, dairy items, baked goods, and confections.
