Key Features
Artificial Sweetener: Aspartame is an artificially synthesized high-intensity sweetener. It has an extremely high sweetness level, approximately 180 - 220 times that of sucrose, providing a pure sweet taste.
Solubility: It is readily soluble in water and also has good solubility in ethanol, enabling it to disperse evenly in many liquid foods and beverages.
Stability: It is relatively stable under neutral pH conditions. However, it may decompose under high temperature, acidic or alkaline environments, which can affect its sweetening effect and stability. Therefore, processing and storage conditions need to be carefully considered during its use.
Uses
Food Industry
Sweetening Agent: Widely used in various low-calorie or sugar-free foods and beverages, such as carbonated drinks, fruit juices, chewing gum, yogurt, ice cream, etc. It can replace traditional sugars like sucrose to meet consumers' demand for sweetness while reducing calorie intake.
Special Food Applications: Suitable for use in foods consumed by special populations such as diabetics and obese people who need to control their sugar intake.
Storage Conditions
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humid environments. Keep away from sources of ignition and heat. Keep the packaging well-sealed to prevent moisture absorption and deterioration.
