When the chemist, Karl Clauss, discovered the sweet taste of a chemical compound called acesulfame K in 1967, a new sweetener was born: Sunett^®.

After years of intensive research it became clear in the early 1980s that Sunett^® was a breakthrough in terms of its pure, high-intensity sweetness, but also because it was totally safe to health and, thus, ideally suited for use in foodstuffs.

Being the inventor of acesulfame K, Nutrinova can offer almost 20 years of experience in the production and application of Sunett®.

Today, Sunett is covered by more than 30 patent families, including patents on the production process, as well as application patents.
