Products Description
Dowell Acesulfame K Powder (INCI: Acesulfame Potassium, E950, CAS 55589-62-3) is a high-intensity, zero-calorie synthetic food sweetener with chemical formula C₄H₄KNO₄S and molecular weight 201.24 g/mol. It appears as uniform white crystalline powder with clean, fast-onset sweetness, around 200 times sweeter than sucrose without extra calorie intake.
Its stable oxathiazin ring structure resists hydrolysis and high-temperature decomposition during standard food processing. The body cannot metabolize Ace-K: it is rapidly absorbed and fully excreted via urine without tissue accumulation. Stable under acidic to neutral pH and UHT/baking high heat, it maintains consistent sweetness without harmful degradation by-products.
Our factory strictly controls assay at 99.0–101.0%, heavy metal lead ≤1.0 ppm, total impurities ≤20 ppm, fully compliant with EU EFSA, US FDA, JECFA and FSANZ food additive standards, ideal for sugar-free, low-sugar and diabetic-friendly food formulations.
Technical Specification Standard
Our bulk Acesulfame K powder adopts international food-grade inspection standards, each batch attached with official COA for customs clearance and factory formulation verification. All heavy metal, fluoride and selenium indicators meet global food safety limits, suitable for mass production export to EU, USA, Southeast Asia, Middle East and Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can Acesulfame K be mixed with other sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose?
A1: Yes. Blending Ace-K with sucralose or aspartame creates obvious sweetness synergy, cuts raw material cost and removes slight bitter aftertaste of single Ace-K. It is the most popular compound sweetener formula in global beverage factories.
Q2: What is the shelf life and proper storage method of bulk acesulfame k powder?
A2: Sealed products stored in cool dry environment away from sunlight and moisture can be preserved for 24 months. After opening, please seal tightly and finish use within 3 months.
Q3: Do you provide free samples for quality testing?
A3: We supply qualified lab samples for formulation verification; customers only need to bear international shipping cost. Sample specification: 100g–1kg optional.
Q4: Is Acesulfame K (E950) legally allowed in EU and US food production?
A4: Fully approved. EFSA labels it E950 for all food categories, US FDA authorizes general food, beverage and oral care use, also recognized by JECFA global food additive committee.
Q5: Is acesulfame k suitable for diabetic food production?
A5: Absolutely. It is non-nutritive sweetener without carbohydrate, will not increase blood sugar level, widely used in sugar-free diet food targeting diabetic groups.
