Aspartame is a methyl ester of the dipeptide aspartyl-phenylalanine. It provides intense sweetness with a flavor profile that closely resembles sucrose. It is metabolized in the body to its constituent amino acids and a small amount of methanol, all in quantities far below those found in common foods.
Widely approved in over 100 countries, aspartame is a cornerstone sweetener in diet beverages, tabletop sweeteners, and sugar-free foods. Its sweetness onset and dissipation closely mimic sugar, though it has limited heat stability and is best suited for products not subjected to prolonged high-temperature processing.
We supply food-grade aspartame in granular and fine powder forms, with particle size options optimized for dry blending, direct compression tableting, and liquid dissolution across beverage and food applications.
