Aspartame has the chemical formula C14H18N2O5. It is a low-calorie sweetener that is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar.
Aspartame is an artificial non-saccharide sweetener 200 times sweeter than sucrose and is commonly used as a sugar substitute in foods and beverages.
It is a methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide with the trade names NutraSweet, Equal, and Candere.
Sucralose – an artificial sweetener and sugar substitute. (marketed as Splenda), is widely used and found in products like diet soda and chewing gum. According to a new study, it's also capable of damaging the DNA material inside our cells.
Sucralose is about 320 to 1,000 times sweeter than sucrose, three times as sweet as both aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and twice as sweet as sodium saccharin.
Neotame - a high-potency sweetener, and it is 6,000 to 10,000 times sweeter than sugar (sucrose), and even around 30 to 60 times sweeter than aspartame.
