Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages.
Aspartame is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide.
Aspartame is a methyl ester of the dipeptide of the natural amino acids L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine. Under strongly acidic or alkaline conditions, aspartame may generate methanol by hydrolysis.
Aspartame , an artificial sweetener, is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, or table sugar.
