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.

Industrial Uses

1. Food & Healthcare

  • Low-Calorie Sweetener: Widely used in diet sodas, juices, and flavored waters to provide sweetness without calories.
  • Baked Goods: Used in baked products due to its heat stability, allowing it to retain sweetness after cooking or baking.
  • Confectionery: Common in chewing gums, candies, and desserts where a strong, long-lasting sweet taste is desired.
  • Tabletop Sweeteners: Often blended with other sweeteners like aspartame or sucralose in sachets and tablets.

2. Pharmaceuticals

  • Flavor Masking in Medicines: Improves the taste of chewable tablets, syrups, and lozenges by masking bitterness.
