Description

β-Aspartame is a high-intensity artificial sweetener and a stereoisomer of the widely used aspartame. This compound is valued for its significant sweetening power, which is approximately 200 times that of sucrose, making it a potent ingredient for calorie reduction. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop sugar-free or reduced-calorie products. Our supply ensures consistent quality and reliable availability for global industrial applications.

Application

• Food & Beverage Manufacturing: As a key sweetener in diet soft drinks, sugar-free confectionery, low-calorie desserts, and tabletop sweeteners.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used to improve the palatability of chewable tablets, syrups, and liquid medications, especially in sugar-free pediatric and diabetic formulations.
• Nutraceuticals & Supplements: Incorporated into protein powders, meal replacement shakes, and vitamin gummies to enhance flavor without adding sugar.
• Dairy Products: Applied in the production of light yogurt, flavored milk, and ice cream to achieve desired sweetness profiles.
• Personal Care Products: Used in certain oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash for its sweetening effect.

Quality Control

Our β-Aspartame is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. We ensure compliance with relevant specifications, including those referenced in the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC). Every batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles, which is available upon request to guarantee traceability and consistency for your production needs.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and performance.
