What is L-Phenylanlanine?

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.

Applications of L-Phenylanlanine

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.

• Recommended Dosage: 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.
