In Fig. 12a aspartame concentration (APM or A) is plotted vs. time at the 5 temperatures. The best linear fit of the form Q(A)=kt was achieved for Q(A)=ln(A/A o ), i.e. first order kinetics (Fig.12b). All measurements were included in the statistical analysis (no averaging of the 3 samples per time) to increase the degrees of freedom and include the measurement spread in the model. Calculated rate constants and 95% C.I. are given in Table 10. Table 10. Aspartame degradation reaction rate constants with confidence intervals at 5 temperatures. Rate constant 30 o C 20 o C 10 o C 4 o C 0 o C -k (hr -1 ) 0.0125 0.00356 0.00138 0.00121 0.000790 ± 95% C.I. ± 0.0013 ± 0.00046 ± 0.00010 ± 0.00009 ± 0.000062 Figure 12. Aspartame degradation kinetics at five temperatures plot as function of time and as semi-log plot To determine the Arrhenius parameters, -k is plotted in a semilogarithmic scale vs.the inverse of absolute temperature (or ln(-k) vs. 1/T). To increase the degrees of freedom and get a narrower confidence interval for the calculated parameters, the 95% C.I. for k are included (Fig. 13). The Arrhenius plot gives by linear regression the values of k o =3.163 108 hr -1 and activation energy E A = 14560 cal/mol. The coefficient of determination, R 2 , is 0.952 and the 95% confidence interval 1830 cal/mol. 61
