• Table‑top sweeteners • beverages (carbonated & still) • powdered drink mixes • dairy • confectionery & chewing gum • syrups & sauces.
• Synergy with **acesulfame‑K** and **sucralose**; not heat‑stable for long thermal processes unless encapsulated. |
• 25 kg fiber drums or cartons (inner PE double‑bag) • 10–20 kg cartons.
• 1 kg foil pouches in cartons for R&D; DC or encapsulated forms on request. |
• Non‑DG; store cool, dry, sealed. Protect from heat, humidity and strong odors.
• Labeling: contains a source of **phenylalanine** (for PKU advisories). • Use food‑contact stainless/HDPE/PP; observe GMP/HACCP. |
