Alitame is a high-intensity dipeptide sweetener derived from aspartic acid and alanine, synthesized via enzymatic coupling followed by formylation. Its molecular formula is C14H18N2O5 (CAS No. 72780-89-1). Unlike similar alternatives, it offers superior stability in alkaline environments.
Storage requires dry conditions below 25°C away from direct sunlight. While generally recognized as safe, specific regulatory limits apply in certain jurisdictions. Handling necessitates standard industrial PPE to prevent respiratory or dermal irritation during bulk processing.
