Acesulfame K (synonyms: Acesulfam K; Potassium salt of 6-methyl-1, 2,3-oxathiazine-4(3H)-one-2,3-dioxide; Potassium salt of 3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazine-4-one-2,2-dioxide; Acetosulfam) is an artificial sweetener, approximately 200 times sweeter than sugar. It is a white, odourless, crystalline powder with the following chemical structure: It is proposed for use as a table-top sweetener, and for use in soft drinks, fruit preparations, desserts, breakfast cereals, Chewing Gum, and other food applications appear to be possible. Based on data for food consumption in the Federal Republic of Germany, and estimated levels of use in these specified foods, the probable mean daily intake has been estimated as 470 mg/day (Anon., 1980a). Acesulfame K is stable in foods, beverages and cosmetic preparations under normal storage conditions. Under extreme conditions of pH and temperature, detectable decomposition may occur leading to the formation of acetone, CO2, and ammonium hydrogen sulfate, or amido-sulfate, as final decomposition products; under acid (pH 2.5) conditions, minute quantities of acetoacetamide and acetoacetamide N-sulfonic acid are formed as unstable intermediate decomposition products, while under alkaline (pH 3-10.5) conditions, acetoacetic acid and acetoacetamide N-sulfonic acid can be detected. This artificial sweetener was assessed for the first time by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives.

What is the difference between made of and made from?

"Made of" and "Made from" can mean the same thing. "That can is made from aluminum." "That can is made of aluminum." However, they can't be used the same in every situation. You can say: "That house is made of wood and made from workers." But you can't say: "That house is made of workers and made from wood."
