Aspartame

Description:

Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener widely used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. Chemically, it is a dipeptide methyl ester composed of two amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine, linked by a peptide bond. Its molecular formula is C14H18N2O5, and it has a relatively low molecular weight. Aspartame is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, allowing for its use in small quantities to achieve the desired sweetness. It is stable under acidic conditions but can degrade when exposed to high temperatures or prolonged storage, which may affect its sweetness. Aspartame is metabolized in the body into its constituent amino acids and methanol, which are naturally occurring substances. However, individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a genetic disorder, must avoid aspartame due to their inability to metabolize phenylalanine effectively. Overall, aspartame is recognized for its safety by various health authorities, although some individuals may experience sensitivity or adverse reactions.

Aspartame

CAS: 22839-47-0

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is used to replace sugar in products. It has been shown to be metabolized by the body into three components: aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. Aspartame can be toxic to humans if consumed in excessive amounts, and some health concerns have been raised about its possible carcinogenic properties. The use of sodium citrate as a buffer in beverages containing aspartame has been found to reduce some of the potential toxicity associated with the product.
