Ajinomoto's dissolving aspartame QDE 510

Using crystallisation technology to optimise the particle size of QDE 510, Ajinomoto has succeeded in creating an ingredient that is free flowing and dust free, which also offers fast dissolution.

According to Ajinomoto, the dissolution time can be cut by as much as 30% using QDE 510 compared with the company’s standard aspartame powder; and dissolution times can be cut by 60% compared with aspartame from other suppliers.

In addition, the company has recently conducted tests into consumer preferences for two diet colas: one sweetened with aspartame and the other with sucralose.

Overall, the research found that participants preferred the cola with aspartame by a ratio of 61:39.
