General description

Neotame is a white colored, dipeptide methyl ester, which is found to be a highly potent and non-nutritive sweetener or flavour enhancer and hence finds applications in variety of foods. It is manufactured from aspartame and 3,3-dimethylbutyraldehyde in a one-step chemical synthesis process.
Neotame is chemically related to aspartame, an artificial sweetener, used in the production of sugar-free low-calorie foodstuffs. It is approved as a food additive depending upon the food or beverage application.

Application

Neotame may be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in the following:
  • Wine samples using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC).
  • Wastewaters using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC).
  • Food samples using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
