Aspartame is a common artificial sweetener and is known to degrade under heat and other conditions.  Previous studies have looked at buffered and standard laboratory solutions of aspartame to identify the products and percent degraded under certain conditions.  The current study investigated the affect of solution temperature on aspartame in �real-life� solutions of brewed coffee and tea and compares those results to distilled water standard solutions.  HPLC was used to quantify the aspartame.
