Acesulfame potassium
Acesulfame potassium is a food additive, also known as acesulfame K or AK sugar. It is a white crystalline powder with an extremely high sweetness, about 200 times that of sucrose. The human body cannot metabolize acesulfame potassium, so it provides no energy. Acesulfame potassium is highly soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, and has good heat and acid resistance, making it suitable for baked goods, candies, and beverages.Acesulfame potassium has the advantages of a simple production process, low cost, and better performance than aspartame, and is therefore regarded as one of the sweeteners with the most promising prospects.
