This compound is widely used as a non-nutritive sweetener in various food and beverage products. It is particularly valued for its high sweetness intensity, which is significantly greater than that of sucrose, allowing for its use in very small quantities. It is commonly found in diet sodas, sugar-free desserts, and low-calorie snacks, providing a sweet taste without contributing to caloric intake. Additionally, it is stable under a wide range of temperatures and pH levels, making it suitable for use in cooking and baking. Its application extends to pharmaceutical formulations, where it is used to mask the bitter taste of certain medications, enhancing patient compliance.
