A novel route for aspartame production by combining enzymatic and chemical reactions for industrial use

© The Author(s) 2020. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry..

Here, we report a novel industrial aspartame production route, involving the enzymatic production of α-l-aspartyl-l-phenylalanine β-methylester from l-aspartic acid dimethylester and l-phenylalanine by α-amino acid ester acyl transferase. The route also involves the chemical transformation of α-l-aspartyl-l-phenylalanine β-methylester to α-l-aspartyl-l-phenylalanine methylester hydrochloride (aspartame hydrochloride) in an aqueous solution with methanol and HCl, followed by HCl removal to form aspartame.
