Powder

A tier

Aspartame powder is the fine, neat or lightly diluted sweetener used in dry beverage mixes and tabletop preparations that will not see a long, hard boil. It is roughly two hundred times sweeter than sugar and tastes more sucrose-like than many older saccharin products, with a slow fade if the drink sits hot or very acid. It is not a roasting-tin sweetener. Phenylketonuria labelling applies. A good powder is white and almost odourless; a stale, hydrolysed lot tastes flat or oddly bitter. Blend it through a carrier if you are weighing for a plant; kitchen scales lie at these masses.
