Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is a methyl ester of the dipeptide composed of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Due to its intense sweetness and low-calorie nature, aspartame is widely used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. It is popular among consumers seeking to reduce caloric intake, especially diabetics and those on weight management programs. Aspartame breaks down at high temperatures, limiting its use in certain cooking or baking applications. It is approved by numerous global food safety authorities, including the FDA and EFSA.
