Acesulfame Potassium (E950)

Acesulfame Potassium 

Acesulfame potassium is a non-nutritive, high-intensity sweetener that passes through the body unchanged, providing zero calories. In the food industry, it delivers clean sweetness without aftertaste in beverages and tabletop sweeteners, synergizes with other sweeteners to mimic sugar profile, and maintains stability through high-heat processing and long-term storage.

• Tabletop sweeteners: Delivers bulk-free sweetness in packets and dispensers for hot beverages and cooking applications.

• Baked goods: Retains full sweetness through high baking temperatures in sugar-free cakes, cookies, and breads.

• Chewing gum: Maintains stable sweetness release during prolonged chewing without breakdown.

• Dairy products: Sweetens yogurt, flavored milks, and ice creams with heat stability for processing.
