Method of preparation of a sweetening matter based on aspartame in a dry tuber-like form

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a sweetener based on aspartame, which is in a dry form similar to that of a lump of sugar. According to the invention, this process comprises the preparation of a composition consisting in an aqueous dispersion of aspartame and at least one agent for modifying the texture, selected from polysaccharides with a high gelling power and monosaccharides or disaccharides with low calorific power, and the lyophilization of the resulting dispersion. Application: food industry; sugar substitute.
