Description of ACESULFAME K
Acesulfame-K is 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), as sweet as aspartame, about 2/3 as sweet as saccharin, and 1/3 as sweet as sucralose. Like saccharin, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. Acesulfame K is often blended with other sweeteners (usually sucralose or aspartame). These blends are reputed to give a more sugar-like taste whereby each sweetener masks the other's aftertaste, and/or exhibits a synergistic effect by which the blend is sweeter than its components.

4. Synergistic effect:Acesuliame-K has a distinguished synergistic effect when used in combination with other sweeteners, which can make a 20-40% reduction in the quantity of product required.
5.Long-lasting stability: no loss quality for 10 years during storage, not hygroscopic, high physical and chemical stablity even at 225°c or the range of PH2-10, no interaction with other involved ingredients and additives.
6.Safety: No adverse reactions in the body to the consumption of Acesulfame-K have been found despite extensive and through safety studies and the wide use in Europe for more than ten years.
