Acesulfamum Kalicum, also known as Acesulfame K or Acesulfame Potassium, is a widely used artificial sweetener. It is approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar and is commonly found in sugar-free and low-calorie products. Here are some key details:

Properties:

• Molecular Formula: C₄H₄KNO₄S

• Molecular Weight: 201.2 g/mol

• Appearance: White or nearly white crystalline powder

• Solubility: Highly soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol

• Heat Stability: It is heat-stable, making it suitable for baking and cooking.

Applications:

• Used in beverages, chewing gums, baked goods, and dairy products.

• Often combined with other sweeteners to enhance sweetness and reduce aftertaste.

Safety:

• Approved by major health organizations like the FDA and WHO for consumption within acceptable daily intake levels.

• It is not metabolized by the body and is excreted unchanged, contributing no calories.

Acesulfame K, also known as Acesulfame Potassium, has the CAS number 55589-62-3. Here are some of its other names:

Nature

White Crystal or crystalline powder, odorless. There is a strong sweet taste, sweet sleep fast, duration slightly longer than sucrose, all after the taste, sweetness is about 200 times of sucrose. Non-hygroscopic in the air, light, thermal stability. With sugar alcohol, sucrose, etc. have a good mixture.

Preparation Method

potassium salt of acesulfame was obtained by reacting diketene with aminosulfonyl fluoride and potassium carbonate in an acetone solution to form a potassium salt of acetamido-N-sulfonyl fluoride, and then reacting with a methanol-potassium hydroxide solution.

Use

sweeteners. After ingestion of the human body is not absorbed, does not produce heat, suitable for use in patients with diabetes and obesity. It can be used alone or in combination with other sweeteners. When used in combination with aspartame or sodium cyclohexanamino acid, there is a clear synergistic use. Mixed use with sucrose, fructose, glucose or isomerized sugars has different effects. China can be used for cakes, Jam (not including cans), pickles, candy, preserved fruit, beverages, ice cream and pectin sugar.
