Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name ASPARTAME.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Aspartame

Aspartame is a dipeptide obtained by formal condensation of the alpha-carboxy group of L-aspartic acid with the amino group of methyl L-phenylalaninate. Commonly used as an artificial sweetener. It has a role as a micronutrient, a xenobiotic, a sweetening agent, a nutraceutical, an EC 3.1.3.1 (alkaline phosphatase) inhibitor, an apoptosis inhibitor and an environmental contaminant. It is a methyl ester, a carboxylic acid and a dipeptide. It is functionally related to a L-aspartic acid and a methyl L-phenylalaninate. It is a tautomer of an aspartame zwitterion. — ChEBI
