Products Overview
Aspartame (CAS 22839-47-0, E951) is a high-intensity, low-calorie sweetener widely used in food, beverage and nutrition applications. It is the methyl ester of L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine and is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, allowing very small quantities to provide a strong sweetening effect.
Sinoright supplies food-grade aspartame in granular and powder forms, with particle sizes including 20-60 mesh, 60-100 mesh, 100 mesh and 300 mesh. Our aspartame is produced and tested to meet applicable FCC, Ph. Eur. (EP) and JECFA specifications, with USP-NF available on request. Every shipment is supplied with a batch-specific COA corresponding to the actual lot shipped.

Uses & Applications
Beverages
Aspartame is widely used in diet and reduced-sugar carbonated soft drinks, flavored waters, juice drinks and iced teas.
Granular grades may be preferred for beverage production where reduced dust and easier handling are important. Aspartame is most suitable for mildly acidic beverage systems, but actual stability depends on pH, temperature, processing time and storage conditions.
For commercial formulations, stability should be evaluated under the customer's specific processing and storage conditions.
Foods
Aspartame is used in sugar-free and reduced-sugar products such as candied fruit, chewing gum, confectionery, tabletop sweeteners and selected dairy-based desserts.
Powder grades are suitable for dry blending and applications where fine particle distribution is required.
Nutrition & Pharmaceuticals
Aspartame is used in selected meal replacements, protein powders, chewable tablets and oral formulations where sweetening is required without adding sugar.
Actual use should comply with applicable food, pharmaceutical and labeling requirements in the destination market.
Sweetener Combinations
Aspartame is commonly combined with other high-intensity sweeteners to achieve the desired sweetness profile.
Sinoright also supplies Acesulfame-K (E950) separately, allowing customers to control their own formulation and blend ratio.
We do not supply pre-mixed Aspartame/Acesulfame-K blends.
Stability & Storage
Shelf Life
24 months from the production date.
Storage
Keep sealed in the original packaging and store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat, sunlight and moisture.
Stability
Aspartame is sensitive to prolonged heat and may lose sweetness during high-temperature processing. It is generally more stable under mildly acidic conditions, but actual stability depends on formulation, pH, temperature and processing time.
For formulations involving prolonged heating or demanding storage conditions, product stability should be evaluated under the intended processing parameters.

Regulatory Status & Compliance
|
Region / Body |
Status / Reference |
|
United States FDA |
Approved for use as a food sweetener under applicable conditions of use; 21 CFR 172.804 |
|
European Union |
Authorized as food additive E951; permitted uses and maximum levels depend on the applicable food category under Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 |
|
JECFA (FAO/WHO) |
ADI: 0-40 mg/kg body weight/day; reaffirmed in 2023 |
|
IARC |
Group 2B, "possibly carcinogenic to humans", based on limited evidence |
IARC and JECFA Assessment
In 2023, IARC classified aspartame as Group 2B, "possibly carcinogenic to humans," based on limited evidence. IARC's classification is a hazard identification and does not by itself quantify the cancer risk associated with a specific level of exposure.
JECFA conducted a separate risk assessment and reaffirmed the acceptable daily intake (ADI) of 0-40 mg/kg body weight per day in 2023. WHO/JECFA noted that the available evidence did not provide sufficient reason to change the previously established ADI.
Regulatory conclusions and permitted uses may differ by jurisdiction and food category. Buyers should verify the requirements applicable to their target market before commercial use.
Phenylalanine / PKU Labeling
Aspartame contains phenylalanine.
For finished foods containing aspartame, applicable labeling requirements may include a statement regarding phenylalanine.
In the United States, the applicable regulation requires the statement:
"Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine."
In the European Union, Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 provides specific labeling wording for foods containing aspartame/aspartame-acesulfame salt, including:
"contains aspartame (a source of phenylalanine)"
or, where the sweetener is identified by its specific name in the ingredients list:
"contains a source of phenylalanine".
We can provide COA, SDS and applicable label-support documentation with shipments. Country-specific regulatory documents can be provided on request.
Regulatory information is provided for reference only. Buyers are responsible for verifying the requirements applicable to their destination market and intended use.
