High-intensity aspartame powder (INS 951 / E951) is a specialized food-grade high-intensity sweetener engineered for applications requiring potent sweetness at minimal inclusion levels. Delivering approximately 200 times the sweetness of sucrose-subject to food matrix, pH, and formulation conditions-it is an ideal solution for sugar reduction across beverages, dry mixes, confectionery, chewing gum, dairy, and tabletop sweetener systems.

Applications & Formulation Fit
Powdered Beverage Mixes: Ideal for instant drinks, flavored beverage powders, and nutritional premixes. Particle size control ensures uniform distribution at low inclusion rates.
Liquid Beverage Systems: Frequently utilized in carbonated soft drinks, reduced-sugar juices, and functional beverages where system pH and pasteurization profiles are optimized.
Confectionery & Chewing Gum: Provides long-lasting sweetness; requires proper dry-blending to prevent localized concentration.
Dairy & Desserts: Suitable for yogurt, frozen desserts, and pudding systems; requires thermal processing and shelf-life evaluation.
Tabletop Sweeteners: Serves as a primary sweetening component in portion-controlled sachet blends and bulk tabletop products.
B2B Buyer Approval Checklist
Assay & Purity: Verification of active content alongside controlled related-substance impurity limits.
Particle & Physical Controls: Consistent mesh size to ensure smooth dry blending and automated dosing.
Moisture & Storage Stability: Low moisture content prevents caking and maintains stability over time.

FAQ
Q: What is the sweetness ratio of Aspartame compared to sucrose?
A: Aspartame is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose. However, the exact perceived sweetness depends on concentration, formulation pH, flavor profile, and synergistic combinations with other sweeteners.
Q: Is Aspartame suitable for high-temperature processing?
A: Aspartame sensitivity increases with prolonged thermal exposure and extreme pH levels. Formulation trials and thermal stability testing should be conducted before establishing commercial processing parameters for hot-fill or high-heat processes.
Q: What packaging options are available for industrial purchases?
A: Standard B2B delivery is provided in 25 kg fiber drums or carton boxes fitted with double-layer PE food-grade inner liners. Customized pack sizes and pallet configurations are available upon request.
Q: What technical documentation is supplied with each order?
A: Every commercial shipment includes a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA). Additional regulatory documentation-such as TDS, SDS, HALAL/KOSHER certificates, Non-GMO statements, and Allergen declarations-is provided during supplier qualification.
Q: What details are necessary to receive a bulk price quotation?
A: To receive an accurate quote, please state your target grade, required packaging format, estimated volume, target delivery timeline, destination country, and intended application.
