Acesulfam K - E 950

Acesulfam K - E 950

Acesulfame K is a versatile and effective sweetener that is around 200 times sweeter than conventional household sugar. It is also known as E 950 and is ideal for applications where low-calorie sweetness is desired. Whether in drinks such as soft drinks, energy drinks and fruit juices or in baked goods, desserts and dairy products - Acesulfame K provides an intense sweetness. The flavour of Acesulfame K is very similar to that of household sugar, but in higher concentrations it tastes slightly bitter.

Incidentally, the K in the name stands for potassium salt and thus refers to one of the main components of the sweetener. Thanks to its heat and acid resistance, acesulfame retains its sweetening power even in demanding manufacturing processes. Thanks to these properties, it can also be used in cooking and baking. Acesulfame is a crystalline powder that is odourless and easily soluble in water. In the food industry, acesulfame K is often used, sometimes in combination with aspartame.

Just 0,5 g of acesulfame K is enough to replace the sweetening power of 100 g of sugar.

Notes
