Acesulfame potassium, or Ace-K, is a high-intensity, non-nutritive, sulfoamide sweetener in a similar class as sodium saccharin and cyclamate.

ChemPoint is proud to supply the industry’s first and highest-quality Ace-K sweetener ingredient, which stands out for its remarkable versatility and performance. This crystalline powder grade of Sunett® Ace K is an ideal additive for many products requiring a reduced-sugar, sugar-free, or low-calorie label claim, brilliantly aligning with current consumer trends towards healthier dietary choices. It has wide applicability in food, beverage, and nutraceutical products due to its stability in acidic products and with elevated temperatures, ensuring that it does not lose its sweetness or effectiveness during processing. The sweetener is known for its excellent synergistic properties with other sweeteners, most notably aspartame and sucralose, resulting in a rich and balanced sweetness profile ideal for complex formulations. This synergy offers a cost-effective solution by reducing the overall amount of sweetener needed while enhancing taste quality, making Sunett® Ace-K a staple in the repertoire of innovative food and beverage manufacturers.

International food safety authorities, including the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and Health Canada, have also evaluated Ace-K and consider it safe at current permitted use levels.
