Description
Neotame is an extremely high-intensity, zero-calorie, artificial sweetener. Its sweetness is 7,000 to 13,000 times that of sucrose. It is a derivative of aspartame and is composed of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. It has a high degree of sweetness intensity and excellent sweet flavor characteristics. It is commonly used in food and beverages as a sugar substitute, helping to create low-calorie or zero-calorie products. It is friendly to people with diabetes. In 2002, FDA approved it as a non-nutritive sweetener and flavor enhancer within the United States in foods generally. In 2010, it was approved for use in foods within the European Union with the E number E961.
