Food additive, Aspartame is a Non-Nutritive artificial Sweetener based on two amino acids. It is metabolized like a food protein. Aspartame is a white or almost white odourless crystalline powder having a sweet taste, slightly hygroscopic, approximately 200 times as sweet as sucrose. Aspartame provides a clean sugar-like sweetness without any bitter or metallic aftertaste. |
