Description

Neotame is a high-intensity, non-caloric artificial sweetener derived from the dipeptide aspartame. It offers exceptional stability and a clean, sweet taste profile, making it a powerful tool for sugar reduction. This ingredient is essential for manufacturers in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop reduced-sugar and zero-calorie products without compromising on taste or shelf life.

Application

• Beverages: Formulation of diet soft drinks, flavored waters, juices, and powdered drink mixes requiring high heat and pH stability.
• Food Products: Sugar reduction in baked goods, dairy products (yogurt, ice cream), confectionery, chewing gum, and tabletop sweeteners.
• Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals: Used as a flavoring agent in syrups, chewable tablets, and liquid supplements to mask bitter tastes.
• Processed Foods: Enhancing the palatability of low-sugar or sugar-free sauces, dressings, and canned fruits.
