Chemistry between context and concept• Appealing context
(Sweeteners is part of daily live)
• Basic concepts• All matter consist of particles
(Sweeteners consist of bio-organic molecules)
• Micro-macro concept: relationship between structure and property (taste)

Web chemistry: Sweeteners
• Homepage• Introduction Sweeteners• Stereochemistry• Synthesis of Aspartame• Molecular structure en taste• Further investigation• Teachers manual
5
1 Sweeteners• Key questions
•What is the difference in sweetness between natural, extensive and intensive sweeteners? •To which chemical compounds do sweeteners belong? •How much sweeter than sugar is aspartame?
•Structure web page•Introduction•Explanation•Information via links•Activity•Checkpoint 1
6
2 Stereochemistry•Key questions
•How can you present structural formulas? •What does the 3D model of aspartame look like? •When do we call a carbon atom asymmetric? •What are the conditions for optical isomerism? •How can you measure optical activity?
•Structure web page•Introduction•Explanation•Assignments with 3D models•Questions with the molecule model maker•Further information via links•Activity•Checkpoint 2
7
3 Synthesis of aspartame• Key questions
• What are the building blocks of aspartame? • What about the stereochemistry of the building blocks of aspartame? • How do you recognize the L- or D-configuration in amino acids? • How many and which stereo isomers does aspartame have? • Which reactants are used for the synthesis of aspartame? • What is the role van the enzyme in this synthesis? • How do you investigate the synthesis of aspartame?
• Structure web page• Introduction• Explanation• Assignments with explanation• More information via links• Questions• Activity • Checkpoint 3
8
4 Molecular structure and taste• Key questions
• Hoe does taste transfer work? • What is a papilla? • Which type of building blocks are used in the taste receptor? • Which model can explain the operation of the sweet receptor? • Which non-covalent interactions are important? • How come the enantiomers of aspartame taste different?
• Structure web page• Introduction• Explanation with exercises• Assignments with explanation• Activity• Checkpoint 4
• Interaction with biology
9
5 Further investigation• How do the different taste receptors work? • Explain what the R- and S- configurations are?• Aspartame investigation in several light soft drinks.• Design a new sweetener.• Investigate the stability of aspartame.• What happens to aspartame once it is ingested?• Aspartame often gets negative publicity.
Design a concept map of all types of isomers.• Design your own soft drink.• Student’s own idea.
