is obtaind from the resin benzoin, that is contained in many incense mixtures. The resin descends from a tree species in Indonesia. Technically and in the industry, benzoic acid is won by oxidation. As organic acid it is also contained in various berries and fruits. The salts and esters of the benzoic acid are called benzoates, like sodium benzoate or potassium benzoate. In a solution the acid forms colourless, shiny pastilles. Benzoic acid has a strong antibacterial effect, is fungicidial and highly combustible.

E Number: E950 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 or 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. Combining the sweeteners can help mask the bitter aftertaste and create the sensation of even greater sweetness. It can also be used as a sweetener in health / protein shakes and pharmaceutical products, where it can make some of the active ingredients taste more palatable.
