Specification :

Acesulfame K is 180-200 times sweeter than sucrose ( table sugar) , as sweet as aspartame, about half as sweet as saccharin, and one-quarter as sweet as sucralose. Like saccharin, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. Kraft Foods has patented the use of sodium ferulate to mask acesulfame' s aftertaste.[ 3] Acesulfame K is often blended with other sweeteners ( usually sucralose or aspartame) . These blends are reputed to give a more sugar-like taste whereby each sweetener masks the other' s aftertaste, and/ or exhibits a synergistic effect by which the blend is sweeter than its components.
