Alitame[II] is nutritive, but due to its intense sweetness, the amounts used are small enough for it to be considered and classified as a nonnutritive sweetener.Alitameis formed from the amino acidsl-aspartic acid andd-alanine with a novel amide moiety (formed from 2,2,4,4-tetramethylthienanylamine). Alitame exhibits superior stability under a variety of conditions because of its unique amide group. Alitame has been approved for use in some countries such as Australia,Mexico, New Zealand, and China, but not in theUSAor EU.Alitame[II] is nutritive, but due to its intense sweetness, the amounts used are small enough for it to be considered and classified as a nonnutritive sweetener.Alitameis formed from the amino acidsl-aspartic acid andd-alanine with a novel amide moiety (formed from 2,2,4,4-tetramethylthienanylamine).
