Acesulfame Potassium
1. Molecular Formula: C₄H₄KNO₄S
2. Properties:
This product is a white crystalline powder, odorless, with a sweetness approximately 200 times that of sucrose. It offers a pure taste profile without any lingering bitterness. It is readily soluble in water (solubility approx. 270g/L at 20°C) and slightly soluble in ethanol.
Key Features:
3. Zero-Calorie Sweetener
Not metabolized by the human body, resulting in no caloric intake.
4. High Sweetness & Stability
Heat-resistant (decomposes above 225°C) and chemically stable within a pH range of 3–7, making it suitable for baked goods and high-temperature processing.
5. Synergistic Enhancement
Can be blended with aspartame, sucrose, etc., to effectively mask bitterness and improve sweetness quality and complexity.
6. Rapid Solubility
Dissolves quickly in cold water, ideal for instant beverages and ready-to-eat food systems.
7. Safe & Universal
No restrictions for specific population groups (non-metabolized, phenylalanine-free), suitable for a wide range of food and beverage applications.
