Description
Neotame (E961) is a revolutionary artificial sweetener derived from the dipeptide combination of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. This innovative compound, akin to a fusion of aspartame and 3,3-dimethyl butyraldehyde, provides intense sweetness without any lingering aftertaste. As a zero-calorie sweetener, Neotame is an optimal sugar substitute for a wide range of applications.
Neotame boasts an exceptional sweetness level, up to 8,000 times that of sucrose and 30 to 60 times sweeter than aspartame. Its potent efficacy enhances flavor profiles, offering a sugary taste sensation without the caloric load. Neotame's versatility makes it a preferred option for sugar alternatives in various food and beverage applications, delivering gratifyingly sweet flavor enhancements without compromising quality.
