Bulk Sale Food Additives Acesulfame potassium powder
Product Overview:
Acesulfame Potassium, also commonly known as AK sugar or acesulfame potassium, is a synthetic high-intensity sweetener that is widely used as a substitute for sucrose in the food industry. Acesulfame potassium does not exist naturally, but is an organic compound that is artificially synthesized. Its chemical name is acesulfame potassium, which belongs to the class of oxazolidinone compounds. The sweetness of acesulfame potassium is very high, about 200 times that of sucrose. This means that only a very small amount is needed to achieve the same sweetness as sucrose, so its caloric contribution can be ignored, achieving a "zero calorie" effect.

Uses and synthesis of Acesulfame potassium powder
Acesulfame potassium powder chemical name acesulfame potassium sulfonate, commonly known as AK sugar, is a synthetic fourth generation sweetener, sweetness is about 130 times that of sucrose. It has the characteristics of good taste, no heat, and no metabolism in the body, no accumulation, physical and chemical properties are stable. Acesulfame potassium is a food additive. It is a chemical similar to saccharin, soluble in water, which can increase the sweetness of food without nutrition, good taste and caloric, and has characteristics of non-metabolism and non-absorption in human body (it is an ideal sweetener for middle-aged and elderly people, obese patients and diabetic patients), good stability to heat and acid, etc. It is the fourth generation of synthetic sweetener in the world. The combination of Acesulfame potassium and other sweeteners has a strong synergistic effect, increasing the sweetness by 30%~50% at normal concentration.
Why choose Acesulfame Potassium?
Zero calories, weight control: Acesulfame potassium does not provide calories, making it an ideal choice for weight control and reducing calorie intake. During the weight loss period when calorie intake needs to be restricted, or for people who need to maintain a healthy weight, using acesulfame potassium instead of white sugar can effectively reduce calorie intake, help control weight, and prevent obesity.Does not affect blood sugar, suitable for diabetics: Acesulfame potassium is not metabolized and absorbed by the human body, and does not increase blood sugar and insulin levels. This is a very important advantage for diabetics and people who need blood sugar control. They can use acesulfame potassium to meet their needs for sweetness without worrying about increased blood sugar, which helps diabetics control blood sugar and reduce blood sugar fluctuations.
Does not cause tooth decay: Acesulfame potassium is not fermented by oral bacteria, so it does not produce acidic substances that corrode tooth enamel and does not cause tooth decay. This makes it a tooth-friendly sweetener. Using acesulfame potassium instead of white sugar can help prevent tooth decay and maintain oral health.
Good thermal stability and wide application: Acesulfame potassium has good thermal stability and pH stability, which makes it widely used in various foods and beverages, especially foods that require high-temperature processing. Its application range is wider than some sweeteners with poor thermal stability.
Synergistic effect with other sweeteners to improve taste: The synergistic effect of acesulfame potassium and other sweeteners can reduce the amount of sweeteners used, reduce costs, and improve the overall taste. The compound use can obtain a sweetness closer to sucrose, reduce unpleasant aftertaste, and improve the quality of food.
Why is it so widely used?
Extremely high sweetness: As mentioned above, the sweetness of acesulfame potassium is about 200 times that of sucrose, which means that a very low amount of addition can achieve the ideal sweetness and significantly reduce the calories of food.
Zero calories: Acesulfame potassium is almost not metabolized in the human body. Most of it is excreted in the urine in its original form after ingestion, so it does not provide any calories. This is very attractive to people who need to control calorie intake (such as people who lose weight and diabetics).
Pure taste: The sweetness of acesulfame potassium is pure and refreshing, and the taste is close to sucrose. There is no obvious bitterness or metallic taste and other bad aftertastes. The taste is better than some other early artificial sweeteners (such as saccharin). However, it may be slightly bitter at high concentrations, so it is usually used in combination with other sweeteners to improve the overall taste.
Synergistic effect with other sweeteners: Acesulfame potassium has good synergistic effect with other sweeteners (such as aspartame, sucralose, etc.). When used in combination, they can produce a higher sweetness than when used alone, and can improve the overall sweet taste, reduce the unpleasant aftertaste, and obtain a sweetness closer to sucrose. Therefore, acesulfame potassium is often used in combination with other sweeteners.
Production methodprocess of Acesulfame potassium powder
Acesulfame potassium powder is prepared by processing fluorine sulfonyl isocyanate or chlorosulfonyl isocyanate with various active methylene compounds, including α-unsubstituted ketone, β-dione, β-keto acid and β-keto ester.
