Abstract

Aspartame (С14Н18N2O5) with IUPAC name methyl L- α - aspartyl - L - phenylalaninate is a low-calorie artificial sweetener that is used in food production, beverages and some vitamin supplements without sugar. Aspartame is ideal as a non-sugar sweetener, used in small concentrations in order to achieve the desired effect, but unfortunately there are lots of adverse effects on the human health. Despite the large number of studies that indicate the hazard of aspartame for the human health, it’s still used. For these reasons, it is particularly important to control the amount of aspartame in food products in order to achieve consumers health protection.
