Description

Alitame is a high-intensity, non-caloric artificial sweetener belonging to the dipeptide amide class, known for its exceptional stability and clean taste profile. Its primary value lies in providing a sugar-like sweetness approximately 2000 times greater than sucrose, making it a highly efficient and cost-effective ingredient for calorie reduction. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the food and beverage industry seeking to develop sugar-free or reduced-sugar products, as well as for pharmaceutical formulators requiring a stable, non-cariogenic sweetening agent.

Application

• Food & Beverage Manufacturing: Used as a sweetener in sugar-free soft drinks, dairy products, baked goods, confectionery, and tabletop sweeteners.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Incorporated into syrups, chewable tablets, and liquid medications to improve palatability without affecting blood sugar levels.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Ideal for protein powders, meal replacements, and vitamin supplements where a non-caloric sweetener is required.
• Oral Care Products: Used in sugar-free chewing gum, toothpaste, and mouthwash due to its non-cariogenic properties.
• Industrial Applications: Potential use in animal feed and as a flavor enhancer in select industrial processes.

Quality Control

Our Alitame is produced and tested to meet stringent quality standards suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications. We ensure compliance with relevant specifications such as the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and can support requirements for GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) production. Every batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles to guarantee consistency and regulatory compliance for our global clients.

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 nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect stability and flow properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
