Aspartame Powder: Ultimate Sugar Substitute for Health-Conscious Consumers
By
on Nov 10th 2023
In the quest for healthier lifestyles, one trend stands out: reducing sugar intake. This shift has challenged the food and beverage industry to maintain the delicate balance of taste and health. As consumers increasingly seek clean labels, the need for alternative ingredients that don't compromise on quality, flavor, or safety has never been greater.
The Sweet Solution: Aspartame Powder
Aspartame, a leading artificial sweetener, emerges as a prime solution where a little goes a long way. Its potency, being 200 times sweeter than sugar, means that less is more, offering cost-effective sweetness.
Aspartame powder's versatility extends beyond beverages to chewable vitamins, gum, and even personal care products like toothpaste, where it adds sweetness without dental damage. This makes it the perfect tabletop sweetener replacement.
Bring The Heat… Just Not Too Much
Aspartame powder can be used in several additional applications, but it is important to remember that heat breaks down aspartame quicky, so it should be avoided in products that are manufactured at high temperatures.
Broken down aspartame powder loses much of its sweetness when heated, typically with temperatures above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The melting point of aspartame is between 246-247°C. In aqueous solution, the relationship between pH and stability of aspartame is a bell-shaped curve with the maximum stability at pH 4.3.
