Product Introduction
Aspartame, known chemically as
N-L-alpha-Aspartyl-L-phenylalanine 1-Methyl Ester, is a widely used artificial sweetener. Its molecular formula is
C14H18N2O5, with a molecular weight of
294.30 g/mol. The CAS number for this compound is
22839-47-0. Discovered in 1965, Aspartame offers a clean, sugar-like taste and is a popular choice for low-calorie products globally. As a trusted
Aspartame manufacturer in China, we ensure high-quality production tailored to diverse needs.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Aspartame appears as a
white crystalline powder or granules with no distinct odor. It has a melting point ranging from
246-247°C, though it decomposes before reaching a boiling point. Its density is approximately
1.35 g/cm³. Solubility in water is moderate, around
10 g/L at 20°C, decreasing under acidic conditions, while it is sparingly soluble in ethanol and insoluble in neutral solvents like benzene. Aspartame is stable in dry conditions but hydrolyzes in moist or acidic environments, losing sweetness over time. These properties make it ideal for specific applications, as provided by a reliable
Aspartame supplier in China.
Product Applications
Aspartame is primarily used as a high-intensity sweetener, approximately
200 times sweeter than sucrose, in food and beverage industries. It enhances flavors in products like soft drinks, chewing gum, powdered drink mixes, and diabetic foods. Its low-calorie profile (4 cal/g) and non-cariogenic nature make it a preferred choice for sugar-free and health-conscious formulations. However, due to heat instability, it is unsuitable for baking. Our expertise as an
Aspartame producer in China ensures consistent quality for these applications.
Quality Standards
Our Aspartame meets stringent quality specifications:
- Purity: ≥
98% (HPLC)
- Specific Rotation: +14.5° to +16.5° (in 0.8% solution)
- Loss on Drying: ≤
4.5%
- Heavy Metals: ≤
10 ppm
- pH (0.8% solution):
4.5-6.0
These standards comply with international regulations, ensuring safety and efficacy for food-grade use.
Packaging and Transportation
Aspartame is typically packaged in
25 kg fiber drums,
1 kg aluminum foil bags, or custom specifications based on client requirements. It is not classified as a hazardous chemical under standard transportation guidelines, falling under
non-dangerous goods classification. Storage should be in a cool, dry place away from moisture to maintain stability. Proper sealing during transit prevents degradation, ensuring product integrity upon delivery.
