Alitame Hydrate(CAT: C000360) is an artificial sweetener derived from dipeptide amides of aspartic acid. It is used as a sugar substitute and sweetening agent in various food and beverage products. Alitame is valued for its intense sweetness, often many times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), making it a valuable option for low-calorie and sugar-free food and drink formulations. It provides a sweet taste without contributing significant calories, making it suitable for individuals who need to monitor their sugar intake, including those with diabetes.
