@Jolenealaska Hello, welcome to the chat.
Hello. I'm puzzling over a math issue, wondering how to figure something out. Is that the kind of thing you would play with?
I could try, but no promises, what are the details of this issue?
Acesulfame potassium is 200 times the sweetness of sugar. Sucralose is 600 times the sweetness of sugar. Allulose is 70% the sweetness of sugar. I use a combination of 45% sucralose and 55% Ace-K. So how much of my combination of Ace k and Sucralose would I have to add to a quantity, let's say a kilo, of allulose to replicate sugar?
I think I'm going to post this on the math stack. I think that's a reasonable question to ask on math, even though it's nothing like what they would normally see.
The sweetness of your sucralose and acesulfame potassium mixture is 0.45*600 + 0.55*200 = 380
Since allulose has 0.7 (or 70%) the sweetness of sugar, one kg of allulose is as sweet as 700 g of sugar.
So you are "missing" 300 g of sugar.
But you want to add the "missing" 300 g of sugar as your sucralose & acesulfame potassium mixture, which is 380x as sweet as sugar, so you only need to add 300/380 g which is around 0.789 grams.
I think that is more or less correct, but you might want to ask the question on Math SE anyway to be sure.

Thank you very much. You explained that well, and it totally meshes with my real-life experience with the ace k/sucralose mixture, so I have no question that it is also correct
Always happy to help, thanks a lot!
I may post it on math anyway just for giggles. I'm a moderator on Cooking, but I enjoy visiting other stacks and I don't think I've ever posted anything on math. Chemistry yes physics yes but not math
