What is Neotame?
Neotame is a new type of sweetener, chemical name is N-[N-(3, 3-dimethylbutyl-) -L-α-aspartyl-l-phenylalanine 1-methyl ester, white crystalline powder, containing about 4.5% of the crystalline water, melting point of 80.99-83.4 ℃, is a new type of high-power sweetener and flavor enhancement agent. Represents the latest achievement of the highest level in the development of powerful sweeteners.
Neotame is a high-intensity sweetener that creates delicious sweet products while reducing or eliminating the use of sugar. Its versatility makes it ideal for many different applications to meet the growing consumer demand for zero - or low-calorie product alternatives.
Application and characteristics:
As a Functional sweetener, neotame has no adverse effects on human health and provides beneficial regulatory or facilitative effects. It was approved for use in all food and beverage products by the FDA on July 9, 2002. Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China in 2003 No. 4 announcement also officially approved Neotame as a new food additive variety, applicable to all kinds of food production.
Features:
- pure sweet taste, fresh and natural, similar to aspartame, but high stability;
- the sweetness is high, about 8000 times of granulated sugar, such as sweetness cost is lower than Aspartame;
- the nutrients contained are easy to be absorbed by the human body;
- low energy or no energy, for diabetic people to eat, not caries, can promote bifidobacterium proliferation, etc.;
- will not cause tooth decay, blood sugar fluctuations, is the preferred sweetener for health food.
- Flavor extender and enhancer
In specific applications and flavor systems, Neotame can significantly lengthen and enhance the taste and fragrance of products. In the course of practical application, because of its modification and some flavor characteristics, the product is required to readjust the flavor system and the content or type of sour flavor agent. In powder drinks, the addition of Neotame can reduce the amount of citric acid by at least 20% without affecting the sour taste of the product.
Neotame characteristic:
It is 8,000 times sweeter than sucrose and 40 times sweeter than aspartame
Sucrose - like pure sweetness, unique flavor enhancement characteristics
Reduced use of citric acid, no calories, no carbohydrates
FDA approval - "For general use", for all populations, need not be labeled "contains phenylalanine"
Neotame is 7,000 to 13,000 times sweeter than sucrose, with the actual sweetness multiple varying according to the desired sweetness intensity and specific application.
Neotame has pure sweetness. In ordinary or sugar-free drinks, Neotame is used to replace part of the sweetener, which can not only get the products with appropriate sweetness and flavor, but also reduce the product cost. The results show that Neotame can replace 20% of nutritional sweeteners or high-power sweeteners in beverage products, without the need to adjust the product formulation, while maintaining similar sensory properties.
