Description

Aspartame is a high-intensity, low-calorie artificial sweetener widely recognized for its clean, sugar-like taste profile. Its primary value lies in providing significant calorie reduction without compromising on sweetness, making it a cornerstone ingredient for modern health-conscious product development. This ingredient is essential for manufacturers in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to create reduced-sugar or sugar-free alternatives. Aspartame CAS NO 22839-47-0 is a critical component for formulators aiming to meet consumer demand for healthier options.

Application

• Carbonated Soft Drinks & Diet Beverages: The primary application, providing stable sweetness in low-pH liquid formulations.
• Tabletop Sweeteners: Used in sachets, tablets, and granulated forms for consumer use.
• Dairy Products: Sweetening yogurts, flavored milks, and ice cream without adding carbohydrates.
• Confectionery: Key for sugar-free chewing gum, breath mints, hard candies, and chocolates.
• Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals: Masking bitterness in syrups, chewable tablets, and liquid supplements.
• Baked Goods & Desserts: Formulated into dry mixes for instant puddings, gelatins, and other desserts where prolonged high-heat exposure is not required.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking and potential degradation.
