High Quality Food Additive Sweeteners Aspartame (E951) - Low-Calorie Sugar Substitute

Aspartame (E951) is a high-intensity, non-nutritive sweetener engineered to deliver sugar-like sweetness with <0.5% calorie content, making it the optimal choice for reduced-calorie and diabetic-friendly food formulations. With 200x the sweetness of sucrose and exceptional flavor compatibility, this GRAS-certified ingredient enables manufacturers to achieve clean sweetness profiles while maintaining compliance with global sugar-reduction mandates.

‌Key Functional Advantages‌

‌1. Sensory Precision‌

• Sweetness intensity: 180–220x sucrose (ISO 6561:2005 sensory evaluation)
• Flavor enhancement: Boosts fruit/citrus notes by 15–20% in low-pH systems
• Aftertaste elimination: 85% faster sweetness decay vs. saccharin (ASTM E2454)

‌2. Metabolic Profile‌

• Caloric value: 4 kcal/g (effective <0.01 kcal/g due to usage levels)
• Glycemic index: 0 (FDA GRAS confirmation)
• Non-cariogenic: Inhibits Streptococcus mutans biofilm formation by 70%

‌3. Process Stability‌

• pH stability: Optimal in 3.0–5.0 range (80% retention at 12 months)
• Thermal tolerance: Stable below 150°C (302°F) for ≤15 minutes
• Solubility: 10% w/v in water (25°C), compatible with liquid concentrates

‌4. Regulatory Compliance‌

• FDA 21 CFR 172.580 compliant
• EU Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 approved
• JECFA ADI: 40 mg/kg body weight/day
• Non-GMO Project Verified (ID: XXXXXX)

‌Technical Specifications‌

• ‌Purity‌: ≥99.5% (HPLC method, USP 41)
• ‌Appearance‌: White crystalline powder
• ‌Particle Size‌: 80–100 mesh (150–180 μm)
• ‌Loss on Drying‌: ≤4.5% (105°C, 4hr)
• ‌Specific Rotation‌: +14.5° to +16.5° (20% solution in HCl)
• ‌Residue on Ignition‌: ≤0.2%
• ‌Microbial Standards‌: TPC <1,000 CFU/g; E. coli absent/10g

‌Application Solutions‌

‌1. Beverage Innovations‌

• Carbonated drinks: 500–600 ppm replaces 10–12°Brix sugar
• Powdered mixes: 0.1–0.3% inclusion prevents moisture absorption
• Ready-to-drink tea: Synergizes with stevia (1:20 ratio) for rounded sweetness

‌2. Dairy & Desserts‌

• Light yogurt: 0.05–0.1% maintains sweetness post-fermentation
• Sugar-free ice cream: Prevents crystalline texture at -18°C storage
• Flavored milk: Enhances cocoa perception by 30% at 0.15% usage

‌3. Pharmaceutical & Nutraceuticals‌

• Chewable tablets: 0.5–1.5% masks bitter APIs (e.g., NSAIDs)
• Sugar-free syrups: Stabilizes viscosity in high-PEG formulations
• Vitamin gummies: Enables 95% calorie reduction vs. glucose syrup

‌4. Bakery & Confectionery‌

• Heat-protected applications:
  • Fillings: 0.02–0.05% in jam centers (post-baking addition)
  • Frostings: 0.1% with 0.5% maltodextrin carrier
• Chewing gum: 0.5–0.8% delivers 15-minute flavor persistence

‌5. Global Diet Adaptations‌

• Keto products: Combines with erythritol (1:100) for bulk replacement
• Diabetic foods: Enables <0.5g sugar/serving claims
• Sodium-reduction blends: Offsets saltiness in savory snacks

‌Quality & Safety Compliance‌

• Manufactured under ISO 22000 & FSSC 22000
• Kosher (OU) and Halal (IFANCA) certified
• Prop 65 compliant (ND for benzene derivatives)
• Allergen-free production (GMP BRCGS AA+ facility)
• 24-month stability: ≤5% degradation at 25°C/60% RH

‌Formulation Guidelines‌

‌Optimal Usage Levels‌

• Beverages: 0.05–0.3% of total formula
• Solid foods: 0.02–0.15% depending on matrix pH
• Synergistic blends: Combine with acesulfame-K (1:1) for 300x sweetness

‌Processing Protocols‌

1. ‌Heat-sensitive applications‌: Add post-pasteurization ≤50°C
2. ‌Dry blending‌: Pre-mix with carrier (maltodextrin/silica) 1:5 ratio
3. ‌Liquid systems‌: Dissolve in water phase before emulsification

‌Stability Considerations‌

• Avoid prolonged storage above pH 7.0
• Protect from moisture (maintain aw <0.6)
• For baked goods, encapsulate with cellulose derivatives

‌Packaging & Storage‌

Supplied in 25 kg polyethylene-lined kraft bags (oxygen transmission <10 cc/m²/day). Store at 10–25°C in <50% RH. Custom premixes with flavor maskers (e.g., cyclodextrins) available.
