Saccharin Sodium

Saccharin sodium is the oldest artificial sweetener, discovered by American scientists in 1878 and quickly accepted by the food industry and consumers. Saccharin sodium sweetness is 450 times to 500 times of sucrose, it is not absorbed by human metabolism, in a variety of food production process is very stable, is one of the important sugar substitute products.

Saccharin sodium, also known as soluble saccharin, is the sodium salt of saccharin, with two crystalline water, colorless crystal or slightly white crystalline powder, easy to lose crystalline water into anhydrous saccharin, odorless or slightly fragrant, sweet taste thick with bitter. The heat and alkaline resistance are weak, the sweetness gradually disappears when heated under acidic conditions, and the taste is bitter when the solution is greater than 0.026%.

Advantage:

Advantages of sodium saccharin mainly include the following aspects:

● High sweetness: Saccharin sodium is about 300 to 500 times sweeter than sucrose and is a very sweet non-nutritive sweetener.

● Low calorie: Saccharin sodium does not contain calories, does not increase the calories of food, suitable for the needs of low sugar or no sugar diet.

● Good stability: Sodium saccharin can maintain its sweetness and chemical stability under various conditions, and is easy to store and transport.

● Low cost: Compared with natural sweeteners, saccharin sodium is relatively cheap, which helps to reduce the cost of food production.

● Multiple uses: Saccharin sodium is not only used in the food industry, but also widely used in daily chemical supplies, electroplating industry, etc.
