If we're going to get all
scientific about this, the full name is :
6-methyl-1,2,3-oxathiazine-4(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide (potassium salt)
With molecular formula:
C4H4NO4KS
This tells me a lot more about it than the
commercial name 'Acesulfame' - which is no more 'scientific' than 'Ribena' or 'Hoover' or any other brand name.
