Aspartame

(8 customer reviews)

Original price was: $88,200.00.Current price is: $85,200.00.

Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener that is widely used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. It is a non-saccharide sweetener, meaning it does not belong to the family of natural sugars like sucrose or fructose. Aspartame is composed of two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, linked together with a methyl ester bond.

This sweetener is known for its intense sweetness, being approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar, which allows for its use in very small quantities to achieve the desired level of sweetness in food and drinks. Aspartame has gained popularity as an alternative to sugar due to its minimal impact on caloric intake, making it suitable for individuals aiming to reduce their sugar consumption or manage their weight.

Upon ingestion, aspartame is broken down into its component amino acids and a small amount of methanol, which is further metabolized into formaldehyde and formic acid. However, the quantities produced are well within the range deemed safe by regulatory authorities, and the body’s natural metabolic processes handle them efficiently.

Bleaching Earth

Original price was: $6,500.00.Current price is: $5,700.00.
Bleaching earth, also known as activated bleaching clay or activated bleaching earth, is a type of natural clay material that has been specially processed to exhibit highly adsorptive properties. It is commonly used in various industries, particularly in the edible oil and fats industry, for the purpose of bleaching or purifying oils and fats. The term "tonsil" in tonsil bleaching earth refers to the original method of production, which involved using a type of clay called "montmorillonite," named after the Montmorillon region in France. Tonsil bleaching earth works through a process called adsorption, where it attracts and binds impurities such as pigments, trace metals, free fatty acids, and other contaminants present in oils and fats. These impurities are adsorbed onto the surface of the clay particles, resulting in the purification of the oil or fat. The term "bleaching" in tonsil bleaching earth does not refer to the traditional meaning of removing color, but rather to the removal of undesirable substances that can affect the quality, stability, and appearance of oils and fats. The bleaching process helps to improve the taste, odor, and shelf life of the final product.
