Acesulfame K is the most suitable sweetener for soft beverage because of it’s high stability and good taste. It can be used in such foodstuffs as sweetener: soft drink, chewing gum, coffee(instant), tea(instant), dairy product analogs, gelatin, pudding desserts, tabletop sweetener and baked food. Acesulfame can be also used in cosmetics.
Application
Acesulfame K is often blended with other sweeteners (usually sucralose or aspartame). These blends are reputed to give a more sucrose like taste whereby each sweetener masks the other's aftertaste, and/or exhibits a synergistic effect by which the blend is sweeter than its components.
Unlike aspartame, acesulfame K is stable under heat, even under moderately acidic or basic conditions, allowing it to be used as a food additive in baking, or in products that require a long shelf life. In carbonated drinks, it is almost always used in conjunction with another sweetener, such as aspartame or sucralose. It is also used as a sweetener in protein shakes , where it can make the active ingredients more palatable.
