Description:
White granules or crystalline powder (highly soluble in water) without odor and similar taste to sugar, but 180-200 times sweeter, which has a bitter "aftertaste". It is obtained by a chemical process from acetoacetamide salt.

Applications:
It is primarily used in the production of soft drinks because it provides a long shelf life, and we can often find it in combination with other sweeteners, which serve to soften its bitter "aftertaste". Acesulfame is also utilized in confectionery, as well as in the production of candies and bakery.

Molecular formula:
C₄H₄NO₄SK

Molar mass:

Description:
White granules or crystalline powder (highly soluble in water) without odor and similar taste to sugar, but 200 times sweeter, whose sweetness is felt later than that of sugar, but lasts longer. It is obtained from two natural amino acids - phenylalanine and aspartic acid.

Applications:
It is primarily used in the food industry in the production of syrups, juices, chewing gum, ice cream, yogurt, etc. Due to less stability under heat, it is not used in baking. Aspartame is also utilized in the production of toothpaste and cough syrup.

CAS:
22839-47-0

Molecular formula:
C₁₄H₁₈N₂O₅

Molar mass:
294.3 g/mol

Description:
White granules or crystalline powder (soluble in water) without odor and similar taste to sugar, but 30-40 times sweeter than sugar. It is obtained by sulfonation from cyclohexylamine, obtained by reduction of aniline.

Applications:
It is primarily used in the food industry in confectionery, bakery, juice production, and salad fillings. Often, due to its bitter taste, it can be found in combination with other artificial sweeteners. At room temperature, it has a long shelf life (300 days), which, when exposed to high heat, is reduced to just a few days.

E-number:
E 952

CAS:
139-05-9

Molecular formula:
C₆H₁₂NNaO₃S

Molar mass:
201.22 g/mol

Description:
White crystals or crystalline powder (highly soluble in water) without odor and similar taste to sugar, but 500 times sweeter, which has a bitter/metallic "aftertaste". It is obtained by the oxidation of o-toluene sulphonamide, using an oxidizing agent such as potassium permanganate.

Applications:
It is primarily used in the food industry, instead of sugar, to sweeten teas, coffee, juices, and flavored waters. Sodium saccharin is also utilized in the production of chewing gum, ice cream, candies, cakes, protein bars, etc.
