Aspartame

Aspartame is a high-intensity, non-nutritive artificial sweetener synthesized from the joining of two amino acids: L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. It features a highly efficient sweetness potency approximately 200 times greater than sucrose, with a sensory profile that closely mimics traditional sugar without any bitter aftertaste. It is widely incorporated into low-calorie beverages, dairy products, confectionery, and pharmaceutical formulations where intense sweetness must be achieved without adding caloric bulk.
