From the chemical structure, potassium acesulfame is 6-methyl-1,2,3-oxygen. Heterothiazin-4(3H)one 2,2-dioxo potassium salt. It is a white crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C4H4KNO4S and a molecular weight of 201.24 g/mol. Acesulfame is a synthetic sweetener and is not recommended for long-term. Taking and overdosing. Eating foods with excessive synthetic sweeteners can cause damage to the liver and nervous system of the human body, especially to the elderly, pregnant women and children.
