Brief introduction:

 

 

 

 

Acesulfame Potassium, also known as Acesulfame K, is an artificial sweetener. It was first discovered in 1967 by chemist Karl Clauss, working at the time for the company that would become Nutrinova. It is sold under a number of trade names, most notably Sweet One® and Sunett®. It has a wide variety of applications, and is widely used in food and drink both in the United States and Europe, and it has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, and equivalent organizations in Europe.

 

 

Chemically speaking, acesulfame potassium is a potassium salt of 6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazine-4(3H)-one,2,2-dioxide, with the molecular formula C4H4KNO4S. It appears similar to sugar or other sugar substitutes, as a white crystal powder. It has a melting point of 437 degrees Fahrenheit (225 Celsius), making it quite a bit more stable than some other sugar substitutes, like aspartame. For this reason, acesulfame potassium is often used in situations where aspartame would not be appropriate, like baking, or products meant to sit on a shelf for long periods of time.
