Description
ACESULFAME K
Other Names: Acesulfame potassium, potassium acesulfame, acesulfame K, E950, sweetening agent
CAS Number: 55589-62-3
Chemical Formula: C₄H₄KNO₄S
Molar Mass: 201.24 g/mol
Appearance: White crystalline solid, powder or granules
Acesulfame K is the potassium salt of acesulfame, used as an intense sweetening agent. The product is characterized by high sweetness intensity, good solubility in water and stability under a wide range of processing conditions. In food additive nomenclature, it is known as E950; however, use in specific sectors depends on the product grade, documentation and compliance with the requirements for the intended application. It may be used as a reagent, a component of technical formulations and an auxiliary substance in mixtures requiring a readily soluble organic potassium salt.
