RESUMO

In this work the thermal decomposition of the non-caloric sweeteners acesulfame-K, aspartame, sodium ciclamate, stevioside, saccharine and sodium saccharine was performed. Initially, the compounds were characterized usually elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy some were recrystallised from commercial samples, resulting in purified compounds. After characterization the sweetener were analysed by TG/DTG, DTA and DSC. The recrystallised compounds presented hydration water in aspartame and sodium saccharine. In the last the first water can be lost during drying, since it seems to be weakely bounded. Stevioside showed humidity water. In a general way the sweeteners decomposes by a carbonaceous residue, and formed potassium sulfate as final residue in the acesulfame-K case as well as sodium sulfate in sodium saccharine and sodium ciclamate. Due to the overlapping of consecutive decomposition steps. The use o the Flynn-Wall-Ozawa method for kinetic calculations only could be performed for the decomposition of aspartame, resulting in log A = 23,2 +-0,1 min-1 and Ea = 206,6 +-0,3 KJ mol-1. The volatilization of saccharine H, after fusion, resulted in Ea = 154,9 +-0,7 KJ mol-1 and log A = 15,2 +-0,1 min-1.
