General description

Acetoacetamide is a degradation product of acesulfame-K, sweetener. Acetoacetamide undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to form salt of acetoacetic acid.

Application

Acetoacetamide was used in a study to assess the stability of artificial sweeteners- aspartame, acesulfame-K and binary sweetener blend of aspartame x acesulfame-K during storage. Acetoacetamide was also used in analysis of multiple sweeteners and their degradation products in lassi by HPLC.
