Journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 86(1), 64-71 (1997-01-01)
Some solid-state pharmaceutical properties and the solid-state thermal stability of the model dipeptides aspartame (APM) and aspartylphenylalanine (AP), have been investigated. Studies by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), high-performance liquid chromatography, powder X-ray diffraction, and optical microscopy

The Journal of nutrition, 119(5), 713-721 (1989-05-01)
A new beta-aspartyl dipeptide, N-beta-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine (beta-AP), has been isolated and identified in urine and plasma from normal human volunteers. beta-AP was isolated from urine samples by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Its identity and stereochemistry were demonstrated by HPLC and

Aspartame [Nutrasweet, Equal (Searle Consumer Products, Chicago, Ill.)] is the methyl ester of the dipeptide aspartylphenylalanine (Asp-Phe). After hydrolysis of the ester bond in the intestinal lumen, the dipeptide is apparently absorbed and digested in the same manner as dipeptides
Kimber van Vliet et al.
Nutrients, 12(6) (2020-07-01)
Phenylketonuria and tyrosinemia type 1 are treated with dietary phenylalanine (Phe) restriction. Aspartame is a Phe-containing synthetic sweetener used in many products, including many 'regular' soft drinks. Its amount is (often) not declared; therefore, patients are advised not to consume
