Acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) is the potassium salt of the oxathiazinone-dioxide sweetener acesulfame, with the systematic name potassium 6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazin-4-olate 2,2-dioxide (CAS 55589-62-3; EC 259-715-3; formula C4H4KNO4S; MW 201.24). It is a synthetic, non-nutritive high-intensity sweetener produced entirely by chemical synthesis rather than from a botanical or fermentation source, and carries the additive designation E950. As the sole member of this family it is supplied only as the potassium salt, in which a potassium counter-ion balances the acidic oxathiazinone ring; the material is a white crystalline powder that is freely water-soluble and stable to heat and across a wide pH range. It is manufactured to a minimum 99% assay at food/pharma grade against the Ph.Eur./USP-NF/FCC monographs. We process this ingredient into powder blends, tablets, gummies and liquid supplement formats.
