E 962 was invented in 1995 by sweetener expert Dr John Fry while working for The Holland Sweetener Company (HSC), a subsidiary of DSM. 
HSC marketed E 962 with the name Twinsweet. 
E 962 was approved for use as an artificial sweetener in the European Parliament and Council Directive 94/35 EC as amended by Directive 2003/ 115/ EC in 2003.

In North America E 962 falls under the same regulations as aspartame and acesulfame-K. 
E 962 is also approved for use in China, Russia, Hong-Kong, Australia and New Zealand.

In December 2006 HSC ceased all of E 962's aspartame operations, citing a glut in the market driving prices below profitable values.
The rights to E 962 is now owned by The NutraSweet Company Inc who have continued to market the sweetener successfully in the USA and EU.
E 962 is an artificial sweetener marketed under the name Twinsweet. 
E 962 is produced by soaking a 2-1 mixture of aspartame and acesulfame potassium in an acidic solution and allowing it to crystallize; moisture and potassium are removed during this process. 
E 962 is approximately 350 times as sweet as sucrose. 
It has been given the E number E962.
E 962 is a methyl ester of a dipeptide. 

E 962 can be used as a synthetic nonnutritive sweetener. 
E 962 is composed of phenylalanine (50%), aspartic acid (40%) and methanol (10%).
