Sweetener (intense Sweetener). Its sweetness is very high, usually it is 50 times higher than that of sucrose. According to different sources, there is a natural extract, natural product chemistry modified semisynthetic products and pure chemical synthesis products. A large supply of natural extracts is the main Stevia extract and long winded Sweet and natural product chemistry modified products such as aspartame, neotame and sucralose, pure synthetic chemical products such as saccharin, cyclamate and acesulfame.
Sweetener can be used for low calorie baked food sweetener, but must have a good thermal stability. Aspartame has been approved for use in food, but due to its poor thermal stability and is not suitable for baking food. American newt company newest development of neotame is aspartame derivative, its thermal stability and sweetness have greatly improved and sweet pure than aspartame, sweet good distribution is used for baking food, which has great potential for development of the sweetener.
Neotame is aspartate dipeptide derivatives, is a new product developed at a cost of $80 million by American newt company after aspartame, representing the latest achievements of sweetener research field. It is according to the human sweet receptor double hydrophobic binding hypothesis. In aspartame molecule with a hydrophobic groups and the formation of aspartame derivatives. It can also act on the human sweet receptor of two hydrophobic binding sites and therefore sweetness increased greatly, 6000 to 10000 times sweeter than sucrose, 30 to 60 times than Biasiba sweet.
It retains many excellent characteristics such as aspartame, pure sweet taste and good flavor enhancing properties distribution, no energy, no caries, stable in acidic medium. Moreover, it is still a lot better than aspartame in dry conditions, it has a longer shelf life; in neutral medium or instantaneous high temperature sterilization conditions, its stability greatly exceed aspartame, which can be used as a sweetener in baking. Neotame can also be used together with reducing sugar and aldehyde flavor without adverse reaction, its safety is better than aspartame and has been greatly improved. Due to its high sweetness, etc. Sweeter is lower than the cost of aspartame. Therefore, neotame has huge market potential. In December of 1998, neotame as food sweeteners status of application have been proposed in the United States, and some other countries for the certification work is in July 9, 2002 . The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) confirmed the neotame safety and functional type, currently is in March 10, worldwide more regulatory agency and national review in 2003, China’s Ministry of Health approval for neotame as a sweetener used in all kinds of food.
