SENYAN™ Aspartame

Product Description

Aspartame presents as a white crystalline powder, either odorless or with a delicate aroma, yet it holds a significant position in the sweetener field due to its astonishing sweetness — up to 180–220 times that of sucrose.

In terms of physical and chemical properties, the stability of aspartame "varies with the environment". It can exist relatively stably in an acidic environment and maintain its sweet characteristics. However, under neutral or alkaline conditions, especially when exposed to high temperatures, its chemical structure is prone to decomposition, causing the sweetness to weaken or even disappear. Nevertheless, its good water solubility endows it with strong adaptability, as it can quickly dissolve in water and other polar solvents, easily integrating into the production formulas of various foods and beverages to ensure uniform release of sweetness.

Safety has always been a focal point concerning aspartame. International authoritative institutions such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have approved it for use as a food additive, and numerous scientific studies have confirmed that aspartame does not pose a risk to human health when used within normal dosage limits. However, its molecular structure contains phenylalanine, which makes it off-limits for individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU). Since these patients lack the ability to metabolize phenylalanine, ingesting aspartame may trigger serious health issues, which also imposes specific restrictions on the safety of aspartame.

Application of Senyan™ Aspartame:

• Beverage Manufacturing: It is the "sweet code" for sugar-free and low-sugar beverages. Whether it is a carbonated beverage with bubbles, a refreshing juice drink, or a mellow and sweet tea drink, aspartame can achieve a low-calorie sweet taste and meet consumers' demand for healthy drinks.
• Candy and chewing gum field: Aspartame is a key raw material in the production of sugar-free candy and chewing gum. It not only brings pure sweetness to the product, but also reduces sugar intake, helping consumers prevent tooth decay, manage weight, and achieve a balance between deliciousness and health.
• Baked food innovation: In the production of baked goods such as cakes and biscuits, aspartame can partially or completely replace sucrose. This can not only retain the sweet flavor of baked goods, but also significantly reduce calories, providing new choices for consumers who pay attention to healthy diets. At the same time, it can avoid the caramelization problem that traditional sucrose may cause, making the appearance and taste of baked products more stable.
• Table Sweetness Revolution: Aspartame table sweeteners in various forms, such as exquisite sweetener packets, provide consumers with convenient personalized sweetness solutions. Whether it is adding mellow sweetness to coffee or giving tea a refreshing aftertaste, it can be easily achieved, allowing consumers to better control sugar intake while enjoying sweetness.

Although aspartame is widely used, it must be strictly followed during use. Different countries and regions around the world have clear regulations on the use limits of aspartame in various foods. Food manufacturers must accurately control the amount of additives to ensure that the products meet regulatory requirements. In addition, due to the extremely high sweetness of aspartame, high-precision metering equipment is required for accurate weighing when using it to prevent the product from being too sweet or uneven in sweetness. When used in combination with other sweeteners and food ingredients, it is even more important to study the synergistic or antagonistic effects between them. Only by repeatedly debugging and optimizing the formula can a food product with excellent flavor and taste be created.
