Sweetness and Characteristics:
Sweetness: 8,000-12,000 times that of sucrose, 40-60 times that of aspartame
Flavor: Pure sweetness, similar to aspartame, without bitterness or metallic notes; sweetness has a slightly delayed onset and lasts slightly longer
Energy Consumption: ≈0 kcal, does not cause blood sugar fluctuations, and does not contribute to tooth decay.
Stability: 85% of its content is retained even after instantaneous high-temperature baking (450°C); superior to aspartame in pH and long-term storage.

Advantages Summary:
Ultra-high sweetness → Extremely low dosage, reducing transportation and storage costs
Excellent thermal stability → Suitable for baking and flash high-temperature sterilization
Wide compatibility → Compatible with reducing sugars and aldehyde-based flavors, no off-flavor
No contraindications → No phenylketonuria warning required, simplifying labeling

Neotame is currently one of the highest-intensity sweeteners with the best thermal stability and broadest applicability. It is particularly suitable for low-energy, sugar-free, and high-temperature processed foods. While its safety at standard doses is globally recognized, the potential impact of extremely high doses on the intestinal microbiome remains a concern.
