CAS No.: 714229-20-6
Molecular Formula: C24H30N2O7 ·H2O
Molecular Weight: 458.511
Appearance: White to Yellow Powder

Advantage
2. Extremely high sweetness:
It is 20,000 times sweeter than sucrose and approximately 115 times sweeter than aspartame; just 0.1 grams can replace 2 kilograms of sucrose, achieving the desired sweetness with minimal usage.
3. Excellent stability:
It retains over 98% of its activity within a pH range of 2–8 and loses only 12% of its sweetness after baking at 180°C for 30 minutes, making it suitable for beverages and baked goods.
3. Negligible caloric content:
It is not absorbed by the human body and contains no calories; it is suitable for consumption by individuals with diabetes or obesity, as well as those with phenylketonuria.
4. Clean taste profile:
It delivers a rapid onset of sweetness with a short-lived aftertaste and minimal bitterness or acidity; it also acts as a bitterness suppressor, helping to reduce the beany off-notes in plant-based protein beverages.

Function
1. Provides sweetness:
Offers intense sweetness, requiring only small amounts to achieve the desired effect; serves as a substitute for traditional sugars such as sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
2. Improves mouthfeel:
Closely mimics the taste profile of sucrose, allowing for reduced calorie content while maintaining a pleasant mouthfeel.
3. Reduces the risk of dental caries:
Resists breakdown by oral bacteria and does not produce the acids that cause tooth decay; commonly used in products such as chewing gum and foods for children.
4. Supports diabetes management:
Does not interfere with blood glucose metabolism, offering a sweet alternative for individuals with diabetes and minimizing the impact of sugar intake on blood glucose levels.

Application
1. Beverages:
Sugar-free soft drinks, fruit-flavored drinks, energy drinks, etc. (usage levels are typically low; for instance, the recommended dosage for non-alcoholic beverages can reach 1.5 ppm).
2. Food products:
Baked goods, confectionery, frozen desserts, jams, chewing gum, etc. (the recommended dosage in chewing gum can reach 50 ppm).
3. Flavor enhancement:
It not only provides sweetness but also enhances flavors such as dairy, fruit, citrus, and mint, while effectively masking off-notes caused by ingredients like proteins, vitamins, and minerals.

Description About Advantame
Advantame is a high-intensity sweetener with a sweetness level 20,000 times that of sucrose, making it the sweetest sweetener developed for commercial use to date. It serves as both a sweetener and a flavor enhancer across a wide range of food products. Primarily used in various foods and beverages, Advantame enables sugar-reduced or sugar-free formulations while delivering a clean, sucrose-like taste. As a food additive, it is suitable for consumers who need to manage their sugar intake, such as individuals with diabetes or obesity.
Due to its extreme sweetness, only minute quantities are required to achieve the desired flavor profile. It contributes virtually no calories, making it ideal for low-sugar and low-calorie products—such as sugar-free beverages and foods designed for diabetics—thereby aiding in weight and blood sugar management.
Compared to other sweeteners, Advantame exhibits superior stability in high-temperature and acidic environments; this makes it well-suited for processed foods like baked goods and canned products, ensuring the sweetness remains consistent over time.
As a non-nutritive, low-calorie, high-intensity sweetener, Advantame can be incorporated into a variety of products, including meat products, frozen desserts, condiments, beverages, and baked goods. Furthermore, it finds extensive application in the pharmaceutical, animal feed and veterinary drug, personal care, and laboratory reagent sectors.
