Nutra sweet

Aspartame, a nonnutritive sweetener marketed under the trade name Nutra-Sweet (among others), is the methyl ester of a simple dipeptide, Asp-Phe-OCH.3. 

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that is 160 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) when dissolved in water. It is marketed as Nutra-Sweet. The molecular formula of aspartame is Ci4H18N20.5.

Phenlyalanine and L-aspartic acid are amino acids. When they bond together, the corresponding dipeptide methyl ester is aspartame, known by the brand name Nutra-Sweet or Equal. Production of both amino acids can be accomplished via fermentation of genetically altered bacteria. Production rates of 1,000 and 1,250 tonnes/yr of L-aspartic acid and L-phenylalanine are desired. 

One very important chemical activity is the synthesis of new substances. Nylon, the artificial sweetener aspartame (Nutra-Sweet ), Kevlar used in bulletproof vests and the body parts of exotic cars, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for plastic water pipes. Teflon, Nitinol (the alloy that remembers its shape even after being severely distorted), and so many other materials that make our lives easier—all originated in some chemist s laboratory. Some of the new materials have truly amazing properties such as the plastic that listens and talks, described in the Chemistry in Focus on page 213. When a chemist makes a new substance, the first order of business is to identify it. What is its composition What is its chemical formula ...
