Description

Neotame Monohydrate(P) is a high-intensity, non-caloric sweetener derived from aspartame, offering superior stability and sweetness potency. Its primary value lies in providing a clean, sugar-like taste profile without the associated calories or glycemic impact, making it a versatile tool for food and beverage formulation. This product is essential for manufacturers in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop reduced-sugar and sugar-free products. CAS No. 243116-62-3 identifies this specific monohydrate form.

Application

• Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Used as a potent sweetener in baked goods, dairy products, confectionery, soft drinks, and tabletop sweeteners.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Formulations: Ideal for masking unpleasant tastes in syrups, chewable tablets, and liquid supplements.
• Dietary & Health-Focused Products: A key ingredient for formulating low-calorie, ketogenic, and diabetic-friendly food items.
• Processed & Packaged Foods: Provides sweetness stability in products requiring high-temperature processing, such as pasteurized beverages.

Quality Control

Our Neotame Monohydrate(P) is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is produced to meet or exceed relevant food-grade specifications, including potential compliance with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and JECFA (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) guidelines. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and safety. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available upon request to verify all critical parameters.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
