:

β-Aspartame

Description:
β-Aspartame, with the CAS number 22839-61-8, is a dipeptide methyl ester derived from the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine. It is primarily known as a low-calorie artificial sweetener, often used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. The compound is characterized by its sweet taste, which is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, making it effective in small quantities. β-Aspartame is stable under acidic conditions but can degrade in alkaline environments or when exposed to high temperatures, which may limit its use in certain applications. It is soluble in water and has a relatively low molecular weight. Additionally, individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) must avoid aspartame due to its phenylalanine content, which can lead to serious health issues. Overall, β-Aspartame is widely utilized in the food industry, contributing to the formulation of low-calorie and sugar-free products while raising considerations regarding its stability and safety for specific populations.
