2. Aspartame is a variety recorded in China Pharmacopoeia. See page199 of China Pharmacopoeia 20 10. Aspartame is also listed in the United States Pharmacopoeia and the European Pharmacopoeia.
Aspartame was discovered by James. Schlaadt is at 1965. This chemist works in G.D. Searle. Company work. When he was synthesizing drugs to suppress ulcers, he accidentally licked his fingers and found that aspartame was sweet. Because aspartame is about 200 times sweeter than ordinary sugar and contains less calories than ordinary sucrose; One gram of aspartame has about 4 kilocalories. However, the amount of aspartame needed to make people feel sweet is so small that the calories contained in it can be ignored, so it is widely used as a substitute for sucrose. Aspartame tastes different from ordinary sucrose. Compared with sugar, the sweetness of aspartame can be delayed and lasts for a long time, but some consumers can't accept it, so some consumers don't like to use sugar substitutes. If acesulfame K is mixed with aspartame, it may taste more like sugar.
