Neotame is an artificial sweetener with a sweetness intensity ranging between 7,000 and 13,000 times that of table sugar. In the European Union, it is identified as Neotame Powder and is classified under the code E961. Known for its moderate heat stability and exceptional potency, Neotame is swiftly metabolized and fully eliminated from the body, without any accumulation over time.Neotame, a high-intensity sweetener classified as Food/Pharma Grade, is renowned for its sweetening power, measuring approximately 7,000 to 13,000 times that of sucrose (table sugar). Enjoying widespread approval for use in food and beverages across many countries, it holds the E number E961 within the European Union. Beyond its application in the food industry, Neotame is also sanctioned for use in the pharmaceutical sector as excipients and in the feed industry as a sweetener.
Functions and Applications
Neotame Powder serves as a non-caloric sweetener, derived from the dipeptide combination of the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine. The unique molecular arrangement of neotame results in an exceptionally sweet ingredient. Below is a comparison of the relative sweetness of Neotame with other sweeteners:
– Saccharin sodium: 300-500
– NHDC (Neohesperidin dihydrochalcone): 1500-1800
– Neotame: 7000-13000
This indicates that Neotame possesses an extraordinarily high sweetness intensity, making it a potent and efficient sweetening option for various applications.
