DESCRIPTION
A white fine crystalline powder with a gentle sweet aroma,
very full and long lasting with no unpleasant bitter after
taste.
Bulk
density at 25 deg C : 0.650 - 0.653
INGREDIENTS
The main ingredient is Aspartame, a natural sweetener
which is safe according to WHO Technical Report Series
No. 653, 1980. The carrier is Dextrose Monohydrate.
APPLICATION
Replace 100gm cane sugar with only 3.3gm of Sweetening
Agent 3000.
It
is easily disperse and soluble in syrups and soft drinks.
Example in syrups, normally maximum concentration with
cane sugar is 66 brix, dilution is 1 + 6 = 7 parts ready
to drink. Using Sweetening Agent 3000, you can get a
1 + 9 dilution = 10 parts ready to drink. Suggested
syrup formula as follows:

In syrup formula (2), the water must be boiling at temperature
100 deg C - no preservative is needed when hot filled.
Sweetening
Agent 3000 is ideal for use in formulating low-calorie
beverage and food products. It has energy content of
2Kcal/g, about half that of protein but requires only
1/30 the amount of sugar to produce equivalent sweetness
- e.g. powder beverage drinks, 3-in-1 coffee, tea, cereal
etc.
Sugar
is not easily disperse with fat base products e.g. cream-filling
in confectionery, ice-cream mix, yoghurt, ice-lollies
etc. With Sweetening Agent 3000, it is very convenient
because of the small quantities used and it being a
very fine powder which is easily dispersed into the
fat base.
NOTE
- When
applying Sweetening Agent 3000 to food requiring UHT
treatment, add in after treatment to avoid decomposition
during the production process.
- When
applying Sweetening Agent 3000 to food containing
ingredients with high enzyme activity, add it after
sterilization in order to avoid enzymatic degradation
during the process.
- The
base of product may affect sweetness intensity and
taste sensation due to other ingredients interaction.
- For
beverage, the pH ranges from 3 - 4 e.g. in most carbonated
citrus soft drinks beverage e.g. orange, lemonade,
colas, ice-cream soda, when using Sweetening Agent
3000, it is stable and effective. However, the ideal
pH range is between 3.5 - 4.5.
Besides
application for sweet products, Sweetening Agent 3000
is also suitable in savoury products e.g. in seasoning
formulation for snacks or noodles and sauce formulation
e.g. oyster sauce, tomato ketchup, chilli-sauce etc.
EXTRA NOTE ON SWEETNESS
At a dose of 0.1% w/w in plain water, sweetness is quite
perceivable. At dose of 0.3% w/w in plain water, it
is equivalent to 10% w/w solution of cane sugar sweetness.
Therefore with these sweetness guideline, once can formulate
exactly the right amount of Sweetening Agent 3000 to
be used in each end product.
LEGAL STATUS
This sweetening agent is base on Aspartame and nature
identical boosters to enhance and lent fullness to the
natural sweetness of Aspartame.
Aspartame
is a natural sweetener found occurring in food. Its
sweetening properties is due to two Amino Acids - Aspartic
Acid and Phenylalaine. Aspartame gives an intense sweetness
that tends to be linear and hollow compare to cane sugar.
The manufacturers of Aspartame claim sweetness potency
varying from 170X to 230X that of sugar depending on
end product taste perceptions.
We
have developed SWEETENING AGENT 3000 to give 30X the
sweetening fullness of cane sugar. This means that 3.3kg
is equivalent to 100kg of cane sugar. It gives a lot
of flexibility to the food development technologists
to formulate many interesting products.
STORAGE
Keep sealed in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
