Alitame is an artificial
sweetener developed by
Pfizer in the early 1980s and currently marketed in some countries under the brand name
Aclame. Like
aspartame, alitame is an
aspartic acid-containing
dipeptide. Most dipeptides are not sweet, but the unexpected discovery of aspartame in
1965 led to a search for similar compounds that shared its sweetness. Alitame is one such second-generation dipeptide sweetener.
Neotame, developed by the owners of the NutraSweet brand, is another.
Alitame has several distinct advantages over aspartame. It is about 2000 times sweeter than
sucrose, about 10 times sweeter than aspartame, and has no
aftertaste. Its
half-life under hot or acidic conditions is about twice as long as aspartame's, although some other artificial sweeteners, including
saccharin and
acesulfame potassium, are more stable yet. Unlike aspartame, alitame doesn't contain
phenylalanine, and can therefore be used by people with
phenylketonuria.
Alitame has approved for use in
Mexico,
Australia,
New Zealand and
China. Danisco Cultor America Inc.'s
Food and Drug Administration petition to permit alitame's use in the
United States is currently in abeyance.
