Description Properties

Aspartame, or dipeptide Asp-Phe methyl ester (L-aspargine-L-phenylalanine) is a chemical compound that is used as a sweetener, known on food products as E951. Phenylalanine, asparagine and other methyl acids are very common in foods these days. We can meet aspartame in products such as low-calorie drinks, chewing gums, soft drinks, table sweeteners and recently more often in medicines, especially in effervescent tablets.
Aspartame, an artificial sweetener, was invented in 1965 by James M. Schlatter, a chemist working for GD Searle & Company. The chemist obtained aspartame as part of his research in the search for a cure for ulcers. He discovered its sweetness when, contrary to the health and safety rules, he licked his own finger stained with this compound. In 1985, the pharmaceutical company GD Searle was acquired by Monsanto, which continued to produce aspartame under the name NutraSweet Company.
