Aspartame (APM) is a widely used artificial sweetener employed in various food products and beverages. Being a low-calorie alternative, it possesses a sweetness that is approximately 200 times stronger than that of sugar. Comprising a dipeptide consisting of aspartic acid and phenylalanine, it is a safe and effective substitute for sugar and other artificial sweeteners. Aspartame finds utility in diverse scientific research applications, encompassing in vitro studies. In vitro studies take place within laboratory applications using test tubes and similar environments.
