Abstract
To determinate their aspartame contents were analysed 72 samples of dry mix products to prepare dietetic desserts, such as, gelatins, puddings and flans, of several flavors and marks, made by Brazilian industries. The analytical method used was high performance liquid cromatography (HPLC), which showed an average aspartame extraction of 96-97%. The contents of aspartame in all samples analysed were according to the limits of Brazilian law.
