aspartati

Aspartame, also known as aspartame, is an artificial sweetener commonly used in various food and beverage products. It is a dipeptide, consisting of the amino acids aspartic acid and phenylalanine, linked by a peptide bond. Aspartame was discovered in 1965 by James M. Schlatter and John F. Sweet at G.D. Searle & Company. It is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose and has a sweetness profile similar to that of sugar. Aspartame is stable at high temperatures and resistant to degradation by stomach acid, making it a popular choice for use in baked goods, beverages, and other food products. It is also used as a low-calorie sweetener in diet foods and beverages. However, aspartame has been the subject of controversy and debate regarding its safety. Some studies have suggested potential health risks, including headaches, digestive issues, and neurological effects, although these findings have not been universally accepted or confirmed. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have concluded that aspartame is safe for consumption within established guidelines. The use of aspartame continues to be a topic of ongoing research and discussion in the scientific and health communities.
