Latest patents enhance manufacturing process
for acesulfame potassium high intensity sweetener products
Celanese Corporation (NYSE:CE), a global specialty materials
company, today announced it has been granted four new patents by
the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) covering
manufacturing process improvements to produce acesulfame potassium
(Ace-K).
The patents granted by the USPTO (US 10,023,546; US 10,029,998;
US 10,029,999; and US 10,030,000) all provide substantial
technology advantages to Celanese and its customers for the
production and quality of Sunett® Ace-K sweetener. With the
issuance of such patents, these technology advantages are
recognized as exclusive to Celanese, thereby increasing the benefit
to customers by ensuring the highest quality and reliability
standards of its Sunett® portfolio.
“As the inventor and only Western producer of Sunett® Ace-K,
Celanese has developed a series of best practices to deliver one of
the industry’s highest quality artificial sweeteners, ensuring
product purity, supply reliability and accountability,” said Scott
Sutton, Chief Operating Officer. “Celanese continuously invests in
manufacturing and quality improvements and is dedicated to robust
research, development and customer support for the sweetener
products manufactured by our patented process. We are pleased that
the USPTO has granted Celanese these patents, which will continue
to place Celanese as a leading, global high intensity sweetener
manufacturer. We intend to vigorously defend our patented
technology against unlawful importation and uses in the United
States.”
Two hundred times sweeter than sugar, Sunett® Ace-K is a
zero-calorie, dental-friendly, high-intensity sweetener
manufactured in a single-purpose plant with unique and patented
processing steps. It provides optimized applicability and
consistent sweetness profiles for better taste and excellent
blending characteristics. Demand for high quality Ace-K continues
to grow as consumers look for alternatives to full-sugar
products.
