Advantame
Advantame is a non-caloric artificial sweetener and aspartame analog by Ajinomoto. By mass, it is about 20,000 times sweeter than sucrose and about 110 times sweeter than aspartame. It has no notable off-flavors when compared to sucrose and tastes sweet a bit longer than aspartame and is chemically more stable. It can be blended with many other natural and artificial sweeteners.
Advantame can be used as a table top sweetener and in certain bubblegums, flavored drinks, milk products, jams and confectionery among other things.
In 2013, it was approved for use in foods within EU with the E number E969. In 2014, FDA approved advantame as a non-nutritive sweetener and flavor enhancer within United States in foods generally, except meat and poultry.
The FDA acceptable daily intake of advantame for humans is 32.8 mg per kg of bodyweight (mg/kg bw), while according to EFSA it is 5 mg per kg of bodyweight (mg/kg bw). Estimated possible daily intakes from foods are well below these levels.[quantify] NOAEL for humans is 500 mg/kg bw in EU. Ingested advantame can form phenylalanine, but normal use of advantame is not significant to those with phenylketonuria. It also has no adverse effects in type 2 diabetics. It is not considered to be carcinogenic or mutagenic.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest ranks advantame as safe and as generally recognized as safe.
Relative sweetness of advantame varies. It depends on the concentration and food/matrix in which it is used. In water solutions of advantame, that are equivalently sweet to water solutions of 3–14 percentage sucrose by weight (wt%), advantame is 7000–47700 times sweeter. Relative sweetness of advantame increases logarithmically as the sucrose concentration of a comparably sweet sucrose solution increases, but eventually reaches a plateau. By extrapolation, sweetness of an advantame water solution is estimated to reach a maximum at a concentration that is equivalent to a 15.8 wt% sucrose water solution.
Advantame is formally a secondary amine of aspartame and 3-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)propanal (HMPA). Structurally advantame resembles a combination of aspartame and phyllodulcin.
Advantame has 2 stereocenters and 4 stereoisomers.
