SENYAN™ Acesulfame K

Product Description

Acesulfame potassium, chemically named potassium acetylsulfamate with the molecular formula C4H4KNO4S, presents as a white, fine crystalline powder. As a vital member of the artificial synthetic sweetener family, it plays an indispensable role in various fields such as food and pharmaceuticals due to its unique properties.

In terms of performance, acesulfame potassium is truly a "standout in the sweetener world." It boasts an astonishing sweetness, approximately 200–250 times that of sucrose. Only a tiny amount is needed to endow products with a rich sweet taste. Meanwhile, it generates almost no calories, making it a boon for diabetics, weight-conscious individuals, and those focused on health. What’s more, acesulfame potassium exhibits excellent stability. Whether exposed to the harsh conditions of high-temperature baking or complex systems with fluctuating acidity and alkalinity, it maintains a stable chemical structure and long-lasting sweetness. Its sweet taste is pure and natural, free from unpleasant odors or bitter aftertastes, perfectly replacing sucrose to satisfy people’s pursuit of a sweet flavor.

Application of Senyan™ Acesulfame K:

• Food industry: In pastry making, acesulfame potassium not only gives cakes and bread a sweet taste, but also effectively reduces production costs and prolongs shelf life; in candy production, it brings pure sweetness to hard candies, soft candies, chocolates, etc., without worrying about tooth decay caused by excessive sugar content; in traditional high-sugar foods such as jams and candied fruits, the addition of acesulfame potassium greatly reduces the amount of sugar used, allowing deliciousness and health to coexist.
• Beverage industry: From bubbling carbonated drinks, refreshing juices, to mellow and sweet tea drinks, and functional sports drinks, acesulfame potassium is a key element to optimize taste and enhance flavor. It helps beverage companies meet consumers' diverse needs for sweetness without increasing calories, leading the trend of low-sugar and healthy drinks.
• Pharmaceutical field: In the research and development and production of drugs, acesulfame potassium is often used as a sweetening flavoring agent. It cleverly masks the bitter taste of the drug, especially in children's medicines, significantly improving the taking experience, making patients, especially children, more receptive to drug treatment and improving medication compliance.
• Other aspects: In daily necessities such as toothpaste and chewing gum, the addition of acesulfame potassium brings consumers a refreshing sweet experience, which not only improves the product usage experience, but also alleviates the problem of bad breath to a certain extent.

In terms of safety, acesulfame potassium has withstood the rigorous test of the global scientific community and regulatory agencies. A large number of toxicological studies and long-term safety assessment data show that within the prescribed scope and limit of use, acesulfame potassium will not cause any harm to human health. Many international authoritative organizations such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have approved its widespread use as a safe food additive to protect the health of consumers.
