SODIUM SACCHARIN
Sodium saccharin is the most commonly used synthetic sweetener in the food industry and has the longest history of use. Yet, it is also the most controversial synthetic sweetener. Sodium saccharin, whose scientific name is sodium o-benzoylsulfonimide. Also known as soluble sodium saccharin, is a sweetener that does not contain calories.
Sodium saccharin has two crystal waters, colorless crystals or slightly white crystalline powder. It is easy to lose crystal water to form anhydrous sodium saccharin, white powder, odorless or slightly aroma, strong and sweet with bitter taste.
The chemist – Constantin Fahlberg(Hopkins University) discovered it in 1879. Once discovered, it was quickly accepted by the food industry and consumers. It is not metabolized and absorbed by the human body and is stable in various food production processes. Its sweetness is 300 to 500 times that of sucrose, and it is a non-nutritive sweetener (does not produce heat). A slightly bitter and metallic taste lingers on the tongue. Sodium saccharin is easily soluble in water. It is not decomposed in the body and is excreted by the kidneys.
