Aspartame

A widely-used sugar alternative in diet soft drinks and food production, holding E number E951.

Overview

Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener. It is often used in diet and low-calorie food and drink products.

Although it has a similar calorific value to sucrose (sugar), aspartame is about 200 times sweeter — meaning less is required to achieve the same level of sweetness. However, it is less sweet than sucralose, another popular artificial sweetener.

The aspartame we supply comes as a white, odourless powder.
