Aspartame is an artificial sweetener, belonging to the category of amino acid dipeptide derivatives. It was discovered by chemists in 1965 while they were developing ulcer medications. It boasts several advantages, such as low dosage requirement, high sweetness (150 to 200 times that of sucrose), pleasant taste, the ability to enhance the flavor of citrus and other fruits, reduced calorie content, no contribution to tooth decay, and lower toxicity compared to other synthetic sweeteners like saccharin. As a result, it is widely used in beverages, diabetic foods, and certain weight-loss health foods. For instance, the formula of cola, which we consume in daily life, once contained this ingredient.
