Aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener, approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is made from L-Phenylalanine and L-Aspartic Acid — the building blocks of proteins — just like those found naturally in daily foods, such as milk, rice, meat, eggs and fish. It is digested by the body exactly the same way as these other proteins, which means aspartame brings nature material to the body. Due to its sugar-like taste and no lingering or metallic after-taste, it is an excellent low-calorie sweetener perfect for developing zero or low-calorie food and beverages. More and more government encourage the public to reduce their sugar intake, aspartame can make an important role in public health.

Aspartame is a dipeptide obtained by formal condensation of the alpha-carboxy group of L-aspartic acid with the amino group of methyl L-phenylalaninate. Commonly used as an artificial sweetener. It has a role as a sweetening agent, a nutraceutical, a micronutrient, a xenobiotic, an environmental contaminant, an apoptosis inhibitor and an EC 3.1.3.1 (alkaline phosphatase) inhibitor. It is a dipeptide, a carboxylic acid and a methyl ester. It derives from a L-aspartic acid and a methyl L-phenylalaninate.
Flavoring agent sweeter than sugar, metabolized as phenylalanine and aspartic acid.
