Determination of Aspartame Using Uv-Vis Spectroscopy (Ultra Visible Spectroscopy) in Soft Drinks

Abstract

The study of aspartame in soft drinks holds a significance importance due to its role as a low-calorie sweetener. Aspartame might be a better solution for those who are overweight, which requires them to consume fewer calories. However, consuming soft drinks containing a high concentration of aspartame is linked to the tendency likelihood of being overweight, experiencing high blood pressure and disability. Regrettably, obtaining precise information regarding the exact concentration of aspartame in soft drinks is challenging due to the absence of a legal requirement for manufacturers to disclose the quantity of aspartame used. Thus, the objectives of this study are to determine the physicochemical properties of soft drinks and the actual concentration of aspartame in soft drinks.
