Large concentrations are found in citrus Fruits, kiwi, strawberries and many other Fruits. It is commercially prepared by fermentation of molasses with the mould Aspergillus niger. Citric acid has many functions – it enhances the activity of many antioxidants, but is no antioxidant by itself. It is mainly used as an acidity regulator as well as aroma compound. It increases gel strength in marmalades and decreases enzymatic browning in Fruits and Fruit products. Citric acid and citrates can normally be consumed by Muslims, Vegans and Vegetarians. Citric acid does not cause allergic reactions in people who are allergic to oranges and citrus Fruits, as it is commercially made from sugar, not Fruits.), e950,e951 (Aspartame is an artificial non-saccharide sweetener 200 times sweeter than sucrose, and is commonly used as sugar substitute in foods and beverages. It is methyl ester of the aspartic acid/phenylalanine dipeptide with the trade names NutraSweet, Equal, and Canderel. Aspartame was first made in 1965 and approved for use in food products by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1981. Many aspects of industrial synthesis of aspartame were established by Ajinomoto. In 2004, the market for aspartame, in which Ajinomoto, the world’s largest aspartame manufacturer, had 40 percent share, was 14,000 metric tons year, and consumption of the product was rising by 2 percent year. Ajinomoto acquired its aspartame business in 2000 from Monsanto for $67M. Because sucralose, unlike aspartame, retains its sweetness after being heated, and has at least twice the shelf life of aspartame, it has become more popular as an ingredient. This, along with differences in marketing and changing consumer preferences, caused aspartame to lose market share to sucralose. In 2004, aspartame traded at about $30/kg and sucralose, which is roughly three times sweeter by weight, at around $300/kg)
