Aspartame powder

Aspartame Powder is the most widely used artificial sweetener in the world; it is used by people in more than ninety countries worldwide. Aspartame is used as sugar substitute in many commercial foods and beverages around the world, especially in diet drinks, as a E951 marked food supplement. It is two hundred times sweeter than sugar and is used as a sugar substitute, but without caloric value. Aspartame is not suitable for being used in high heat and prolonged baking, since it might decompose be means of a hydrolysis reaction (a chemical process) and lose its sweetness. Experts from the United States Food and Drug Administration, FDA, describe it as one of the most thoroughly researched food supplements and as a sweetener, the use of which is defined as absolute safety.
