Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Aspartame crystals, SEM
Aspartame crystals, coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Aspartame (Nutrasweet) is an artificial sweetener used to flavour foods. Its chemical name is L-alpha-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester. Aspartame is around 200 times sweeter than sugar. It is used in foods as it has no energy value, and thus can help weight loss. All products that contain aspartame must carry a warning, as it contains the amino acid phenylalanine. People with the disease phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot metabolise phenylalanine, and over-consumption can lead to mental retardation. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of aspartame crystals, captured through a coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). Aspartame, also known as Nutrasweet, is an artificial sweetener widely used to enhance the flavor of various foods. Its chemical name, L-alpha-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester, hints at its complex composition. With a sweetness approximately 200 times greater than sugar, aspartame has become popular in food products due to its lack of energy value and potential for aiding weight loss. However, it's important to note that all items containing this sweetener must carry a warning label since they contain phenylalanine – an amino acid that individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) cannot metabolize. Overconsumption by those affected can lead to mental retardation. The magnification level used in capturing this image remains unknown but reveals mesmerizing details within these tiny crystals. The vibrant colors and unique structure highlight the artificial nature of this substance while showcasing its significance as a food additive. Through this visually stunning photograph from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of the scientific marvels hidden within everyday objects like our foodstuffs. It serves as a reminder of both the benefits and potential risks associated with artificial additives such as aspartame when consumed responsibly and mindfully.
