Product Description

Acesulfame Potassium (Acesulfame-K) is a high-intensity, non-nutritive sweetener widely used in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries. Approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose, it provides a clean, sweet taste with virtually no calories and excellent stability under heat and acidic conditions.

Acesulfame-K is highly soluble in water and is frequently blended with other sweeteners, such as sucralose or aspartame, to create a more balanced sweetness profile and improve overall flavor. Its outstanding thermal and pH stability make it suitable for products that undergo baking, cooking, pasteurization, or extended storage.
