Acesulfame K, also known as Acesulfame Potassium, is a calorie-free sweetener that is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is often used in combination with other sweeteners to enhance sweetness in food and beverages. Acesulfame K is stable under heat, making it suitable for use in baked goods and products that require cooking or baking. It is commonly found in sugar-free and “diet” products, including soft drinks, chewing gum, dairy products, and desserts.
