Aspartame, For Sweetener, Purity : 99.9

 Aspartame

 Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener used as a sugar

 substitute in foods and beverages. Aspartame is approximately 200

 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). The taste of aspartame and

 other artificial sweeteners differs from that of table sugar in the

 times of onset and how long the sweetness lasts. The sweetness of

 aspartame lasts longer than that of sucrose, and it is often blended

 with other artificial sweeteners such as acesulfame potassium to

 produce an overall taste more like sugar.
