The ingredients in Equal sweetener are dextrose with maltodextrin, aspartame and acesulfame potassium. Equal sweetener is a popular sweetener used daily by many.
I have seen references to 35 mg per packet.
The artificial sweetener - aspartame
No, it is an artificial sweetener.
No. It's a sweetener.
Equal sweetener turns brown in the packet due to a chemical reaction known as Maillard reaction. This reaction occurs between the amino acids in the aspartame (the main ingredient in Equal) and the reducing sugars present in the sweetener. When exposed to heat and moisture, these compounds react and produce brown pigments, resulting in the discoloration of the sweetener.
Diet sodas that contain aspartame as an artificial sweetener include Diet Coke, Diet Pepsi, and Coke Zero.
Aspartame itself is a compound, but if a sweetener contains it it is a mixture.
Sorbitol & Aspartame
No, sacralose does not contain aspartame. Sacralose is a non-nutritive sweetener made from sugar, while aspartame is a different artificial sweetener composed of aspartic acid and phenylalanine.
aspartame
No aspartame is purely a sweetener, however if you heat it to over 84 degrees it does give of formalderhyde
