Acesulfame-K
Acesulfame-K, also known as acesulfame potassium or Ace-K, is a calorie-free sugar substitute used in a variety of foods and
beverages. It is about 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and provides a clean, sweet taste without any calories.
Chemically, it is a potassium salt of 6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazine-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide. Acesulfame-K is highly stable under a
wide range of temperatures and pH conditions, making it suitable for baking and products requiring a long shelf life. It is often
blended with other sweeteners, such as aspartame or sucralose, to enhance the overall sweetness and reduce the aftertaste
associated with some artificial sweeteners. Acesulfame-K is not metabolized by the body and is excreted unchanged, contributing
to its zero-calorie profile. It has been approved for use in food and beverages by various health authorities, including the FDA,
WHO, and EFSA, and is widely regarded as safe for consumption.

Potassium sorbate, also known as potassium salt of sorbic acid, finds extensive application in food preservation due to its ability
to inhibit the growth of molds, yeasts, and fungi. It is commonly used in a variety of food and beverage products such as cheese,
wine, baked goods, and dried fruits to extend shelf life by preventing spoilage. Potassium sorbate works by interfering with the
cell membrane of microorganisms, thereby preventing their growth and reproduction without affecting taste or color of the food.
Beyond food, it is also utilized in personal care products like cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as a preservative to maintain product
stability and safety. Its effectiveness, safety, and versatility have made potassium sorbate a crucial ingredient in the preservation
and maintenance of quality in numerous consumer products worldwide.
