Product Properties
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener widely used in a variety of foods and beverages. It is about 200 times sweeter than sucrose, so it can provide sufficient sweetness while using very small amounts and contains almost no calories. Aspartame is often used in sugar-free beverages such as cola, juice, tea, etc., as well as low-calorie beverages such as sports drinks and iced tea, to help reduce calorie intake while maintaining sweetness. In addition, aspartame is also widely used in chewing gum and candy, especially sugar-free chewing gum and sugar-free candy, which can provide sweetness without causing tooth decay. For dairy products, Aspartame is often used in low-sugar or sugar-free yogurt, ice cream and chocolate milk, etc., to reduce sugar while maintaining sweetness.
In baked goods, aspartame is used to make low-sugar or low-calorie cakes, cookies and desserts, which can make these foods sweet without adding calories. Aspartame is also widely used as a tabletop sweetener, such as coffee, tea or breakfast cereals in the home, replacing sucrose or other sugars to help people reduce sugar intake. In addition to food, Aspartame is also used in some nutritional drinks and weight loss products, especially in protein drinks, energy drinks and vitamin drinks, where it can provide sweetness without adding extra calories.
In addition, Aspartame is also commonly found in low-sugar condiments such as ketchup, salad dressings and syrups, which can maintain sweetness while reducing sugar. It is also used in some medicines and oral care products, such as chewing gum, mouthwash and sugar-free toothpaste, to help improve the taste and avoid tooth decay caused by sugar. In short, Aspartame has a wide range of uses, from beverages, chewing gum to medicines and health foods. It provides an important sweet alternative for low-sugar and low-calorie foods and beverages, meeting consumers' needs for health and weight control.
