b. Aspartame:-
It is methyl ester of dipeptide derived from phenylalanine and aspartic acid. It is 100 times sweeter than sugar. It decomposes at baking or cooking temperature thus it can be only used in cold foods and soft drinks.

c. Alitame:-
It is morestable than as partame. It is nearly 2000 times sweet as sugar. It is difficult to controle the sweetness of food which they are added.

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) and tocopherols (Vitamin E) are used as Antioxidents.

CLEANSING AGENTS:-

Soaps and Detergents:-
Chemical substances which concentrates at the surface of the solution or interfaces, farms surface Films, reduced surface tension of solution helps in removing dirt and dust by emulsibying grease are called surfactants. They are soaps and detergents.

Soaps:-

  • They are sodium or potassium salts of higher fatty acids such as lquric acid [C11H23COOH], steric acid [C17H35COOH] etc.
  • Soaps are formed by heating fat or oil with aqeous sodium hydroxide solution. This reaction is called sponification reaction.


Only sodium and potassium soaps are soluble in water and are used for the
cleanising purpose.
