Sunett approved for Pharmaceuticals in Japan
"The importance of this registration goes well beyond Japan. Homogenization of markets, as well as stringent regulations, mean it is important to multinational manufacturers that the ingredients they use are accepted internationally in order to ensure the success of their product on a global scale", comments Peter Brown, Head of Global Marketing of Nutrinova.
The pharmaceutical grades of Sunett are listed under acesulfame K in the European Pharmacopoeia (1998:1282) and the Drug Master File of the FDA. Sunett also conforms to the Japanese purity requirements. The high intensity sweetener is explicitly approved for use in drugs in over 50 countries worldwide.

With its impact sweetness, it not only remains stable over long storage periods at a wide range of temperatures and pH values, it also demonstrates excellent solubility and requires no additional mixing.
