Aspartame acesulfame salt

Aspartame acesulfame salt (CAS 106372-55-8), also known commercially as Twinsweet and approved as E962, is a high-intensity sweetener combining aspartame and acesulfame in a fixed molar ratio.

The combination delivers a synergistic sweetness profile that exceeds the individual potency of either component. This allows formulators to achieve target sweetness at lower total sweetener loading across various applications.

In carbonated soft drinks and flavored waters, this salt provides clean, sugar-like sweetness with reduced aftertaste compared to single-sweetener systems. It is highly effective for maintaining flavor integrity in beverages.

Confectionery manufacturers use it in sugar-free chewing gum and hard candies where the blend's stability under processing conditions supports consistent flavor delivery. It remains stable during typical manufacturing heat cycles.

Dairy and dessert applications, including yogurts and ice creams, benefit from its ability to round out sweetness. It eliminates the bitterness sometimes associated with acesulfame K alone in these formulations.

It also appears in tabletop sweetener blends and dietary supplement formats where calorie reduction is a primary formulation target. The ingredient is versatile for both liquid and solid dosage forms.

Aspartame acesulfame salt is supplied as a white crystalline powder. It is available to food-grade and NF specifications, supporting use across both food manufacturing and nutraceutical applications.

Standard commercial supply is typically offered in bulk bags and smaller packaging to serve both large-scale production and development-scale procurement. This ensures flexibility for diverse industrial requirements.
