Acesulfame-K:

The potassium salt of 6-methy-2,2-oxathiazine-4(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide.

Shape: White, virtually odourless, crystalline powder	Molecular formula :C₄H₄NO₄KS
Molecular weight :201.24	CAS NO:55589-62-3
Code:GB19.011 , INS NO.950

ADVANTAGES:

Good taste: similar to sucrose in terms of taste

High sweetness: about 200 times sweeter than sucrose

Easily dissolved: dissolves quickly and easily in water under room temperature.

Non-calories: no metabolism and no calorific value in the body, suitable for diabetics.

Synergistic effect: Acesulfame-K has a distinguished synergistic effect when used in combination with other sweeteners, which can make a 20-40% reduction in the quantity of product required.

Long-lasting stability:

No loss quality for 10 years during storage, not hygroscopic, high physical and chemical stablity even at 225℃ or the range of PH2-10, no interaction with other involved ingredients and additives.

It will not cause tooth decay, with the good product image of low calorie and protecting tooth.

Lower the production costs; Ensure or extend the product shelf-life.

SAFETY:

No adverse reactions in the body to the consumption of Acesulfame-K have been found despite extensive and through safety studies and the wide use in Europe for more than ten years. It doesn't metabolize and accumulate in the body, doesn't affect the normal function of human body, and is excreted rapidly and completely, so it's very suitable for diabetics.

According to the regulation of FDA, for the adults of body weight of 60kgs, the sweetness of max ADI 15mg/kg is equal to that of sucrose of 180g which is times as the average daily sucrose intake.

The ADI and corresponding sucrose for the adults of body weight of 60kgs.

APPLICATIONS:

Acesulfame-K is widely used in various kind of food. Acesulfame-K is the most suitable sweetener for soft beverage because of its high stability and good taste; it can be used in such foodstuffs as sweetener: soft drink, chewing gum, coffee (instant), tea (instant), dairy product analogs, gelatins, pudding desserts, tabletop sweetener and baked food.

Acesulfame-K can be also used in medicine and cosmetics, for example, syrup, sugarcoating pies, toothpaste, lipstick, mouth washer and similar products.
