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.
