Acesulfame K

Acesulfame K, also known as Acesulfame Potassium or Ace-K, is a high-intensity artificial sweetener that is commonly used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. It is a white, odorless powder that is about 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), but it has no caloric value and does not affect blood sugar levels. Acesulfame K is chemically stable and can withstand high temperatures, making it suitable for use in baked goods and other heat-processed products. It is often found in sugar-free or low-calorie products, such as diet sodas, sugar-free chewing gums, desserts, and tabletop sweeteners.

Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, is a water-soluble vitamin that plays an important role in various physiological processes in the human body. It is an essential nutrient that cannot be produced by the body and must be obtained through dietary sources or supplements. Ascorbic acid acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells and tissues from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It also plays a critical role in the production of collagen, which is important for the health of skin, bones, and other connective tissues. Additionally, ascorbic acid is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and the metabolism of proteins and fats. Deficiency in ascorbic acid can lead to a range of health problems, including scurvy, a condition characterized by fatigue, weakness, and bleeding gums.

Aspartame

Original price was: $88,200.00.Current price is: $85,200.00.
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener that is widely used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. It is a non-saccharide sweetener, meaning it does not belong to the family of natural sugars like sucrose or fructose. Aspartame is composed of two amino acids, phenylalanine and aspartic acid, linked together with a methyl ester bond. This sweetener is known for its intense sweetness, being approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar, which allows for its use in very small quantities to achieve the desired level of sweetness in food and drinks. Aspartame has gained popularity as an alternative to sugar due to its minimal impact on caloric intake, making it suitable for individuals aiming to reduce their sugar consumption or manage their weight. Upon ingestion, aspartame is broken down into its component amino acids and a small amount of methanol, which is further metabolized into formaldehyde and formic acid. However, the quantities produced are well within the range deemed safe by regulatory authorities, and the body's natural metabolic processes handle them efficiently.
