Acesulfame Potassium

Acesulfame Potassium

Discovered in 1967 by Hoechst AG, acesulfame potassium (also known as acesulfame K) is a high-intensity, non-caloric sweetener. It is approx 200x sweeter than sucrose.

Acesulfame K has a clean, quickly perceptible, sweet taste that does not linger or leave an aftertaste. Acesulfame K is not metabolized by the body and is excreted unchanged.

BENEFITS

Helps Reduce Calories Since acesulfame K is not metabolized, it contributes no calories. By substituting acesulfame K for sugar in foods and beverages, calories can be reduced substantially, or, in some products, practically eliminated.

Does Not Promote Tooth Decay Acesulfame K does not contribute to dental caries.

Useful in Diabetic Diets Studies have shown that acesulfame K has no effect on serum glucose, cholesterol, or triglycerides. People with diabetes may incorporate products containing acesulfame K into their balanced diet.
