General description

Acetoacetamide is a degradation product of acesulfame-K, sweetener.[1] Acetoacetamide undergoes alkaline hydrolysis to form salt of acetoacetic acid.[2]

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.[3] Acetoacetamide was also used in analysis of multiple sweeteners and their degradation products in lassi by HPLC.[1]
