Neotame is a dipeptide derivative structurally related to aspartame, but with a 3,3-dimethylbutyl group that dramatically increases its sweetening potency and metabolic stability. Its extreme sweetness allows use at very low levels. This makes it highly cost-effective.
Unlike aspartame, neotame is rapidly metabolized and the methanol and phenylalanine produced are in negligible quantities. This eliminates the need for PKU labeling. It also exhibits superior heat stability. This extends its usability to baked and processed foods.
We supply food-grade neotame in pure powder form, with technical guidance on dosing and blending to help manufacturers achieve precise sweetness targets in beverages, dairy, confectionery, and tabletop formulations.
