About Acesulfame-K

Acesulfame-K is a food additive, chemical products,like saccharin,soluble in water, 20 ℃ when the solubility of 27 grams. Increase food sweet, not nutrition, good taste, no calories, E950 does not have the metabolism of the human body does not absorb (the elderly, obese patients with diabetes ideal sweetener), heat and acid stable good features, Acesulfame-K is the worlds fourth-generation synthetic sweeteners.

Currently, more than 90 countries around the world have formally approved Acesulfame-K for the food, beverages, oral hygiene / cosmetics (for lipstick, lip balm, toothpaste and mouthwash, etc.) and pharmaceutical (for syrup preparations, sugar-coated tablets, hard drug masking agent) and other areas. Chinas Ministry of Health in May 1992 formally approved Acesulfame-K for the food and beverage area, but not excessive use.

Acesulfame-K and other sweeteners mixed to produce a strong synergistic effect, increase the concentration of the general sweetness of 30% to 50%. 1967, first discovered by the German company Hoechst, 1983 for the first time in the UK approved, Acesulfame-K sweetness of sucrose 200 ~ 250 times. Acesulfame-K to light and heat (225 ℃ high temperature capability) stability, pH, a wider scope of application (pH = 3 to 7), E950 is the worlds stability, one of the best sweeteners, no moisture in the air, The thermal stability. 225 ℃ high temperature capability, PH2 ~ 10 range in the stable, do not use it with other food ingredients or additives react. For baked goods and acidic drinks. In addition,Acesulfame-K was safe, the United Nations Joint FAO / WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives agreed Acesulfame-K for A-level food additives, and recommended daily intake (ADI) of 0 ~ 15mg/kg. In 1988 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved for use in food Acesulfame-K, provides daily intake (ADI) of 0 ~ 15mg/kg, 1998 The FDA approved use in soft drinks. Acesulfame-K sweet and pure and strong, sweet and lasted longer than sucrose, aspartame 1:1 combined with a significant synergies.

Acesulfame-K is the worlds fourth-generation synthesis of a new type of healthy, low-calorie high intensity sweetener, E950 easy to preserve, thermally stable, E950 taste fresh, sweet feeling quickly. E950 not be metabolized in the body, no calories, and E950 do not produce heat.
