Aspartame is a white powder with the chemical formula C14H18N2O5. It is a natural functional oligosaccharide that is highly sweet, doesn’t cause dental caries, and is safe for diabetic patients to consume. Due to its high sweetness and extremely low calorie content, it can be used as a sugar substitute in beverages, pharmaceutical products, and sugar-free chewing gum. A small amount of aspartame can provide sweetness without adding significant calories.
Sinochem Supply Chain’s Aspartame product appears as a white crystalline powder and is available in 60-100 mesh and 100-200 mesh varieties. It is packaged in 25kg drums (cartons) that meet the various packaging requirements of customers.
