Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages.
Aspartame is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide.
Aspartame is a methyl ester of the dipeptide of the natural amino acids L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. Under strongly acidic or alkaline conditions, aspartame may generate methanol by hydrolysis.
Aspartame , an artificial sweetener, is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, or table sugar

Applications:
Aspartame is a new-style intense sweetener of amino acid. It is a dipeptide compound made from L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. It has no after taste such as bitter, chemical and metal taste. Aspartame can enhance the flavor of fruit and reduce the bitterness of coffee. Furthermore, aspartame can decrease calories effectively, and it will not cause decayed tooth.
