Abstract

Abstract Amides of L-aspartyl-D-amino acid dipeptides of the formula and physiologically acceptable cationic and acid addition salts thereof wherein R a is methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl and R is a branched aliphatic, alicyclic or heterocyclic member which is branched at the alpha carbon atom (the carbon atom bearing the amide nitrogen atom) and also branched again at one or both of the beta carbon atoms, are potent sweeteners which are free from undesirable flavour qualities and of high stability in conventional food processing. Sweetening compositions and sweetened edible compositions of such amides are also claimed
