Acesulfame potassium (often called Ace-K) is a high-intensity, zero-calorie artificial sweetener. It is about 200 times sweeter than sugar and remains stable under high temperatures and across a wide pH range. Commonly used in diet sodas, sugar-free chewing gums, baked goods, and tabletop sweeteners, it enhances sweetness without adding calories. Acesulfame potassium is often combined with other sweeteners to create a more sugar-like taste profile.
