What is acesulfame potassium?
Acesulfame potassium is a food additive, is a chemical, similar to saccharin, easily soluble in water, increases the sweetness of food, has no nutrition, good taste, no calories, has no metabolism or absorption in the human body (it is middle-aged and elderly people). It is an ideal sweetener for people, obese patients and diabetic patients), and has the characteristics of good heat and acid stability.

It is about 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), so only small amounts are used to match the sweetness provided by sugar. Acesulfame potassium retains its sweetness at a wide range of temperatures and in many food-processing conditions, which allows it to be used as an ingredient in a variety of food products, including baked goods, beverages, candies, chocolates, dairy products, desserts, and more.
