Aspartame in polvere (E951)

Panoramica del prodotto

Aspartame (E951) is a globally recognized high-intensity, low-calorie sweetener essential for modern food and pharmaceutical formulations. As a dipeptide of the amino acids L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine, it provides a clean, sugar-like taste without the caloric content, making it the ideal choice for brands developing sugar-reduced or sugar-free products. Our Aspartame is engineered for superior performance, offering excellent solubility and a consistent flavor profile that meets the exacting demands of today’s consumers.

• Exceptional Sweetness Profile: Approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose with a clean, sugar-like flavor and minimal aftertaste.
• Superior Formulating Performance: Controlled particle size ensures rapid dissolution in aqueous systems and uniform distribution in dry blends.
• Reliable Compliance: Manufactured to meet or exceed global standards including the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC), USP, and European regulations (E951).
• Consistent Batch-to-Batch Quality: Produced under strict cGMP conditions, ensuring high purity and safety for your final application.

Key Technical Specifications

Our Aspartame powder is guaranteed to meet the highest industry standards. Each batch is rigorously tested to ensure it conforms to the following specifications.

Applications & Formulation Guidance

Aspartame’s clean taste and high potency make it a versatile ingredient across numerous applications.

Beverage Formulations

Ideal for carbonated soft drinks, powdered drink mixes, iced teas, and fruit juices where clarity and a clean finish are critical.

• Dosaggio consigliato: 300 – 800 ppm (0.03% – 0.08%).
• Formulation Note: Aspartame exhibits optimal stability in formulations with a pH between 3.0 and 5.0, typical of most beverages.

Food & Confectionery

Widely used in chewing gum, yogurts, dessert mixes, tabletop sweeteners, and confectionery items.

• Synergy: Often blended with Acesulfame-K (Ace-K) in a 2:1 or similar ratio to create a more sucrose-like sweetness profile and mask potential aftertastes.
• Particle Size: A finer mesh (e.g., 100-200) is recommended for dry mixes to ensure homogeneity and prevent spotting.

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical

Serves as a highly effective excipient for masking the bitter taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in chewable tablets, effervescent tablets, and oral suspensions.

Stability, Storage & Handling

Proper storage is crucial to maintain the integrity and shelf life of Aspartame.

• Stability Profile:
  • Heat: Aspartame’s sweetness can degrade at prolonged high temperatures (above 80°C / 176°F), making it unsuitable for most baked goods. It is stable in processes like UHT and pasteurization where heat exposure is brief.
  • pH: Exhibits maximum stability in systems with a pH between 3.0 and 5.0.
• Recommended Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption.
• Durata di conservazione: 36 months from the date of manufacture when stored under recommended conditions.

Safety & Regulatory Information
