Aspartame FCC IV 100 Mesh

Whatsapp Order

Aspartame FCC IV 100 Mesh is a high-purity, fine crystalline powder form of aspartame, meeting Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) grade IV specifications, and ground to a 100 mesh particle size. This fine particle size improves its solubility and dispersibility in beverages and other formulations. Aspartame is an intense artificial sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose. It is widely used as a low-calorie sugar substitute in various food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. This form is preferred for applications requiring rapid dissolution and uniform sweetness.

Primary Uses

Food & Beverage Industry

Used extensively as a sugar substitute in diet soft drinks, sugar-free beverages, and powdered drink mixes for low-calorie formulations.
Incorporated in sugar-free chewing gums, candies, jellies, and confectioneries for intense sweetness without added calories.
Used in dairy products such as low-fat yogurts, ice creams, and puddings to provide sweetness with reduced caloric content.
Ideal for tabletop sweeteners and sugar substitutes in granular or powdered form due to fine particle size for better dissolution.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Added to chewable tablets, syrups, and vitamin formulations to mask bitter tastes without impacting caloric intake.
Used in diabetic-friendly medications and supplements to improve palatability.

Personal Care & Oral Hygiene Products

Utilized in toothpaste, mouthwash, and breath fresheners as a sweetening agent that does not promote dental caries.

Secondary Uses

Dietary & Nutritional Supplements

Incorporated in protein shakes, meal replacement powders, and vitamin supplements as a non-caloric sweetener.

Veterinary Applications

Used to enhance palatability in flavored veterinary medicines and feeds.

Industrial Applications

Employed in certain biotechnology applications where sweetness is needed but caloric input must be minimized.

Food Packaging Innovations

Occasionally used in active packaging technologies as part of oxygen scavenging systems (indirect effect to preserve food quality).
