Does Acesulfame Potassium have an aftertaste?
When Acesulfame Potassium is used as the sole sweetener at a high level, a slight bitter aftertaste can be detected by trained sensory panels. In practice, however, this aftertaste has no relevance. In manufacturing foods and beverages, Acesulfame Potassium combines well with other sweeteners, giving no detectable aftertaste. Blends of Acesulfame Potassium with other sweeteners are characterized by a clean, sugar-like sweetness, which is superior to the taste of the individual sweeteners.
