acesulfame k is 180-200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), as sweet as aspartame , about half as sweet as saccharin , and one-quarter 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). Thes0e 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.
Unlike aspartame, acesulfame K is stable under heat, even under moderately acidic or basic conditions, allowing it to be used in baking, or in products that require a long shelf life. In carbonated drink s, it is almost always used in conjunction with another sweetener, such as aspartame or sucralose. It is also used as a sweetener in pharmaceutical products, especially chewable and liquid medications, where it can make the active ingredients more palatable.
