What is Saccharin sodium?
Sodium Saccharin was first produced in 1879 by Constantin Fahlberg, who was a chemist working on coal tar derivatives at the Johns Hopkins Univers Sodium Saccharin.It is white crystal or power with inodorous or slight sweetness, easily soluble in water.
Sodium Saccharin sweetness is around 500 times sweeter than that of sugar. It is stable in chemical property, without fermentation and change of color.
To be used as a single sweetener, Sodium Saccharin tastes a little bitter. Normally Sodium Saccharin is recommended to be used along with other Sweeteners or acidity regulators, which could cover the bitter taste well.
Among all sweeteners in the current market,Sodium Saccharin takes the lowest unit cost calculated by unit sweetness.
So far, after used in food field for more than 100 years, Sodium Saccharin is proved to be safe for human consumption within its proper limit.
Application of Saccharin sodium
The food industry uses sodium saccharine as an additive in various products.
Sodium saccharine is used as a non-nutritive sweetener and stabilizer in a variety of food and drinks.
Bakeries use sodium saccharin to sweeten baked goods, breads, cookies and muffins.
Artificially sweetened diet drinks and sodas use sodium saccharin since it dissolves readily in water. Other products that contain sodium saccharin include marzipan, plain, sweetened and fruit-flavored yogurt, jams/jellies and ice cream.
Storage
Saccharin sodium is stable under the normal range of conditions employed in formulations. Only when it is exposed to a high temperature (125℃) at a low pH (pH 2) for over 1 hour does significant decomposition occur. The 84% grade is the most stable form of saccharin sodium since the 76% form will dry further under ambient conditions. Solutions for injection can be sterilized by autoclave.
Saccharin sodium should be stored in a well-closed container in a dry place.
