摘要：Aspartame, a -L, aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester, is a sweetening with broadening food applications. Its use in many food systems can provide significant reduction in calories. The known pH-dependent stability of aspartame in liquid systems provides a need to develop versatile analytical methods that can monitor both aspartame loss and decomposition products formation during storage of nonrefrigerated extended shelf-life products. As well, similarities between aspartame and other polar food components place additional constraints on the resolving power of any developed analytical methodology. In this article, high performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of aspartame, its decomposition products and some food additives are reviewed.
