Aspartame Storage

Application:

1.Aspartame is 180 times sweeter than sucrose and requires only a small amount to achieve the desired sweetness in the application. Therefore, the use of aspartame instead of sugar in foods and beverages can significantly reduce calories without causing dental caries.

2.There is a synergistic effect when mixed with sucrose or other sweeteners, such as adding 2% to 3% in saccharin, which can obviously mask the bad taste of saccharin.

3.It is mixed with essence and has excellent synergistic effect, especially for acidic citrus, lemon, grapefruit, etc., which can make the fragrance lasting and reduce the amount of fragrance.

4.Its protein component can be naturally absorbed and decomposed by the human body.
