CAS No.: 33665-90-6 EINECS: 251-622-6
Molecular Formula: C4H5NO4S Molecular Weight: 163.15
Structural Formula:
Property:
The density of Acesulfame K is 1.83. The water solubility of
Acesulfame K is 270 g/L at 20 ºC. Acesulfame K is 180-200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), as sweet as Aspartame, about half as sweet as saccharin, and one-quarter as sweet as Sucralose. Like Saccharin,
Acesulfame K has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. Kraft Foods has patented the use of Sodium Ferulate to mask aftertaste of Acesulfame.
Acesulfame K is often blended with other sweeteners (usually Sucralose or Aspartame). These blends are reputed to give a more sugar-like taste whereby each sweetener masks the other's aftertaste, and/or exhibits a synergistic effect by which the blend is sweeter than its components.
Unlike Aspartame, Aesulfame K is stable under heat, even under moderately acidic or basic conditions, allowing it to be used in baking or in products that require a long shelf life. In carbonated drinks,
Acesulfame K is almost always used in conjunction with another sweetener, such as Aspartame or Sucralose.
Acesulfame K is also used as a sweetener in pharmaceutical products, especially chewable and liquid medications, where it can make the active ingredients more palatable.

Usage:
Acesulfame K can reduce production costs and has the longer shelf life.
Acesulfame K produces no calory and will not be metabolized.
Acesulfame K is the ideal sweetening agent for middle age or senior people, abnormally fat people, and diabetic patients.
Acesulfame K will not cause decayed tooth. In total,
Acesulfame K has good application property and wide using filed (for food industry, beverage, medicine, cosmetics etc.).
Acesulfame K is used with other sweetening agents (such as colonial sugar, aspartame sugar) will produce more remarkable results.
Package and Storage:
Acesulfame K is packed in cool 25kg fiber drum. The shelf time is 2 years.
