Acesulfame-k is also known as Acesulfame potassium or Ace K. It is a highly versatile artificial sweetener that is around 200 times sweeter than sugar and is used to give food and drinks a sweet taste without adding calories. Acesulfame K is usually found in blend with other sweeteners such as aspartame and sucralose.

Acesulfame potassium is a highly versatile artificial sweetener that manufacturers use in a wide range of foods and drinks. Unlike similar sweeteners, such as aspartame, it is stable when heated. Because of this property, many baked goods contain acesulfame-K.

Acesulfame potassium is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as an alternative sweetener. More than 90 studies have been done that show it's safe to use.

Acesulfame potassium is safe to consume. It has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 1988 and is one of eight low- and no-calorie sweeteners currently permitted for use in the U.S. food supply.The sweetener acesulfame-K is a potassium salt that was discovered in 1967 by German researchers and approved by the FDA in 1988 (Clauss and Jensen, 1973; Chattopadhyay et al., 2014). It is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose. 

Acesulfame K was synthesized by the chemist Karl Clauss in 1967 through the reaction of propyne or butyne-acetone and flourosulfonyl isocyanate, producing the cyclized potassium salt of 6-methyl-3H-1.2. 3-oxathiazine-4-one-2.2-dioxide (İçbudak et al., 2005).
