Abstract
A new series of L-aspartyl-D-amino acid amide sweeteners is described in which the amide portion is prepared from an cl-alkyl-substituted be nzylamine. These materials show good taste characteristics and are 5 t imes more stable than aspartame at typical beverage pH (3-4). The most potent member of the series is L-aspartyl-D-alpha-aminobutyric acid ( S)-alpha-ethylbenzylamide, having a sweetness potency 2000 times that of a 10% sucrose solution.
