Notes:
The reactivity of Aspartame with several aldehydes in ethanol was determined by gas chromatographic analysis of the reacted aldehyde. The model aldehydes were benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, citral, n-decanal, and vanillin. The data showed that Aspartame is quite reactive with the aldehydes, although the reactivity differed with each. Detection of and analysis for the reaction products were done by HPLC and GPC. Molecular weights of cinnamaldehyde-Aspartame and benzaldehyde-Aspartame reaction products were determined by GPC. The reactivity is dependent on the relative concentrations of the reactants. It is also influenced by the reaction medium.
