Chemical Structure:

Acesulfame K (Acesulfame Potassium) is a calorie-free artificial sweetener. it is 180-200 times sweeter than sucrose, as sweet as aspartame, about half as sweet as saccharin, and one-quarter as sweet as sucralose. Like saccharin, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. 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, acesulfame 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, it is almost always used in conjunction with another sweetener, such as aspartame or sucralose.
Acesulfame-K is widely used in various kind of food. Acesulfame-K is the most suitable sweetener for soft veverage because of it's high stability and good taste, it can be used in such foodstuffs as sweetener: soft drink, chewing gum, coffee(instant), tea(instand), dairy product, gelatins, pudding desserts, tabletop sweetener and baked food.
Acesulfame-K can be also used in medicine and cosmetics, for example, syrup, sugarcoating pius, toothpaster, lipstick, mouthwasher and similar products.
