Comparison between Aspartame and Acesulfame K:

1. Chemical Composition
Aspartame is a dipeptide composed of two amino acids: aspartic acid and phenylalanine, with a methanol group attached.
Acesulfame K is a synthetic sweetener made from acetoacetic acid and potassium, and it is often abbreviated as Ace-K.
2. Sweetness Intensity
Aspartame is about 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar).
Acesulfame K is also approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose.
3. Taste Profile
Aspartame provides a clean, sugar-like taste with minimal aftertaste, making it a popular choice for replicating the taste of sugar in products.
Acesulfame K can have a slightly bitter or metallic aftertaste, which is why it is often blended with other sweeteners (like Aspartame or Sucralose) to improve flavor.
4. Heat Stability
Aspartame is not heat-stable and degrades at higher temperatures (above 86°F/30°C). It is unsuitable for cooking or baking at high temperatures.
Acesulfame K is heat-stable, making it suitable for cooking, baking, and other applications that involve high temperatures.
5. Caloric Content
Aspartame has some caloric value (about 4 calories per gram), but due to its high sweetness, it is typically used in very small amounts, resulting in negligible calories in the final product.
Acesulfame K is a zero-calorie sweetener, as it is not metabolized by the body and contributes no calories.
6. Metabolism
Aspartame is metabolized in the body into its components: phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. Phenylalanine can be harmful to individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder.
Acesulfame K is not metabolized by the body and is excreted unchanged, contributing to its zero-calorie status.
7. Regulatory Approval
Both sweeteners are approved by major health authorities, including the FDA, EFSA, and WHO. They are deemed safe for consumption in regulated amounts.
Aspartame must be avoided by individuals with PKU due to its phenylalanine content.
Acesulfame K is safe for all populations, as it doesn't contain any ingredients that pose a risk.
8. Uses in Food and Beverages
Aspartame is commonly found in diet sodas, sugar-free desserts, chewing gum, and yogurts due to its sugar-like taste and low calorie count.
Acesulfame K is often used in sugar-free or diet drinks, candies, baked goods, and instant food products because of its heat stability and zero-calorie properties.
9. Blending with Other Sweeteners
Aspartame is often combined with other sweeteners (like Acesulfame K, Sucralose, or Stevia) to enhance the sweetness profile and improve taste.
Acesulfame K is frequently blended with Aspartame, Sucralose, or other sweeteners to reduce bitterness and improve flavor, especially in beverages and sugar-free foods.
10. Safety
Both sweeteners are regarded as safe by FDA and other health authorities, though Aspartame should be avoided by people with PKU due to the phenylalanine it contains.
Acesulfame K is generally considered safe for all consumers, with no special restrictions.
Summary:
Aspartame is a low-calorie sweetener with a clean, sugar-like taste but is not heat-stable and poses risks for people with PKU.
Acesulfame K is a zero-calorie sweetener that is heat-stable and often used in combination with other sweeteners to mask its slightly bitter aftertaste.

Both are widely used in food and beverage formulations, with Aspartame preferred for its closer taste to sugar and Acesulfame K favored for its heat stability and zero-calorie content.
