Acesulfam-K has a sweetness about 200 times that of sucrose, and its flavor properties are similar to those of saccharin. At high concentrations, there is a bitter taste. Easily soluble in water, increases food sweetness and stabilizes heat and acid
Acesulfame is a food additive, chemically known as potassium acetylsulfonate, also known as AK sugar. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is an organic synthetic salt with a taste similar to sugarcane. It is easily soluble in water and slightly soluble in alcohol. Ansai honey has stable chemical properties and is not prone to decomposition failure; Not participating in body metabolism and not providing energy; High sweetness and cheap price; Non cariogenic; It has good heat and acid stability and is currently the fourth generation synthetic sweetener in the world. It can produce strong synergistic effects when mixed with other sweeteners, and can increase sweetness by 20% to 40% at general concentrations.
It can be used for liquid, solid drinks, ice cream, cakes, jams, Pickled vegetables, preserves, gums, table sweeteners, with a consumption of 0.3g/kg.
Can be used as a sweetener in food, medicine, and other fields.
