Description
Neotame, a white crystalline powder, is a functional sweetener. It has a pure sweetness, concordant sweetness, very close to aspartame, without the bitter and metallic taste often associated with other powerful sweeteners. The sweetness is 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sucrose, 30 to 60 times sweeter than aspartame, and the energy value is zero. It can remain stable under the condition of instantaneous high temperature.
High solubility: the solubility in water at room temperature (25°C) is 12.6g/liter, and the solubility in ethanol is 950g/liter.
High sweetness, low calorie: the sweetness is 7000-13000 times of sucrose.
Safe and stable: very stable under dry or acidic conditions (better than aspartame).
Improvement of flavor: It can keep or even improve the good flavor such as sweet, salty, sour, etc., and reduce or cover the bad flavor such as bitterness and astringency.
Low cost: The cost of Neotame's sweetness is about 1/9 of Aspartame.
