Product Overview
Stable sweetness across varied processing conditions
Acesulfame K, also known as acesulfame potassium or Ace-K, is a high-intensity sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than table sugar. It is frequently used in combination with other sweeteners to create the required sweetness profile.
Unlike some high-intensity sweeteners, Acesulfame K is heat stable and can retain sweetness during hot processing. Its suitability, use level and labelling must still be assessed for the complete formulation and destination market.
Permitted applications and maximum use levels vary by food category and market. Confirm regulatory suitability before commercial use.
