CAS Number: 55589-62-3
Acesulfame Potassium (Acesulfame K or Ace K) is a calorie-free sugar substitute. It is 200 times sweeter than Sucrose (common table sugar), as sweet as Aspartame and one third as sweet as Sucralose. Like Saccharin, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. Unlike Aspartame, it is stable under heat, and even under moderately acidic of basic conditions, allowing it to be used as a food additive in baking or in products that require a long shelf life. When used in soft drinks, it is often blended with other substitutes, such as Aspartame and Sucralose to better emulate sugars' taste without the calories.

Aspartame is an artificial, non-saccharide sweetener that can be used as a sugar substitute in some foods and beverages and is approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (common table sugar). The taste of aspartame and other artificial sweeteners do differ from that of table sugar, though aspartame is said to come closest to sugar’s taste profile among the approved artificial sweeteners.
Like many other sweeteners, aspartame may break down into its constituent amino acids under conditions of elevated temperature or high pH. This makes aspartame less desirable as a baking sweetener, and prone to degrading in products with a high pH, which is required for a long shelf life. The stability of aspartame under heating can be improved to some extent by encasing it in fats or in maltodextrin.
Aspartame is a general-purpose sweetener that can be used in a large range of foods and beverages, including dairy, bakery, confectionery, soft drink and pharmaceutical applications, as well as syrups, salad dressings, snack foods and cereals to name just a few.

Baking powder is a dry chemical leavening agent, comprised of a carbonate (or bicarbonate) and a weak acid. They are prevented from reacting prematurely by the inclusion of buffers such as Corn Starch. Baking powder is used to increase the volume and lighten the texture of baked goods. It works by releasing carbon dioxide gas into a batter or dough through an acid-base reaction, causing bubbles in the wet mixture to expand and thus leavening the mixture.
Most commercially available baking powders are made up of sodium bicarbonate and one or more acid salts.

Malic acid is a dicarboxylic acid found in most living organisms, and is a contributor to the sour taste in fruits. The most common source of this compound is unripe fruit, and it is used widely as a food additive.
It is primarily used in soft drinks, cider, sweets and crisps. Sour sweets prefer Malic over Citric Acid as the sour profile is more intense. It is also used to produce a tart vinegar-like flavour in salt and vinegar crisps, and to balance sweetness in ciders and sweet drinks.
