Assugrin - "Gold" Sweetener Süssstoff

Sweetener based on aspartame. Fits in any handbag. Ideal for the calorie-free sweetening of coffee, tea and all other hot drinks.

Cyclamate sugar substitute was discovered in 1937 by two American chemists and tested over the subsequent twenty years. After cyclamate was declared safe for consumption in the mid-1950s, the Hermes Company announced their new product, Assugrin, in 1954. Almost a decade later, in 1965, Hermes company came up with a mixture of saccharin and cyclamate. It was later introduced to the market under Assugrin brand with wide endorsements. In that same year, aspartame was discovered. Aspartame was introduced into the Assugrin brand as Assugrin Gold.

Aspartame tastes particularly close to sugar - and has a similar calorie content. However, because aspartame is 200 times sweeter, much smaller amounts are needed to sweeten drinks. Often aspartame is found in chewing gum or calorie-free drinks. 1 Assugrin Gold is the roughly the equivalent amount of sweetness of 1 cube of sugar (3g) or a packet of sugar (3-5g).
