It is widely used in sugar-free beverages, table-top sweeteners, chewing gum, confectionery, oral care, and flavored pharmaceutical preparations.
Aspartame provides a clean sweetness profile and is often blended with other sweeteners to improve taste, stability, and cost-effectiveness.
It is suitable for reduced-sugar and weight-management products; however, it is not recommended for individuals with phenylketonuria due to its phenylalanine content.
