Aspartame is an artificial sweetener commonly used as a sugar substitute in a variety of food and beverage products. It is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), allowing it to provide the same level of sweetness with a significantly lower caloric content. Aspartame is composed of two amino acids, aspartic acid and phenylalanine, which are naturally occurring in many protein-containing foods. Due to its low-calorie nature, aspartame is widely used in diet sodas, sugar-free gum, yogurt, and various low-calorie or sugar-free products.
