Basic Information

Acesulfame, chemical formula: C4H4KNO4S, chemical, is a food additive.
Similar to saccharin, it is easily soluble in water, increases the sweetness of food, has no nutrition, has a good taste, no calories, and has no metabolism or absorption in the human body (it is an ideal sweetener for middle-aged and elderly people, obese patients, and diabetics) , It has the characteristics of good heat and acid stability, and is the fourth-generation synthetic sweetener in the world. It can produce a strong synergistic effect when mixed with other sweeteners, and the sweetness can be increased by 30%~50% under normal concentration.

Physical properties：

Acesulfame K has a strong sweet taste, and its taste is similar to that of saccharin. Bitter taste at high concentration
Stability: This product has good stability. It will not be decomposed for many years in bulk at room temperature. The sweetness of the aqueous solution (pH3.0-3.5, 20℃) will not decrease for about two years. Although it decomposes when placed at 40°C for several months, its stability is good during the heating process.
 

Application
