Saccharin Sodium Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Sodium saccharin is a synthetic sweetener commonly used in the food industry that is 300-500 times sweeter than sucrose, but is not broken down in living organisms and is excreted by the kidneys. Sodium saccharin is not highly toxic, but its carcinogenicity is controversial. According to FAO/WHO (1984), the ADI of sodium saccharin is 0-0.0025g/kg body weight.

Saccharin sodium is widely used in food, feed additives, daily chemical industry and electroplating industry. In food, saccharin sodium is commonly used in cold drinks, beverages, jellies, cold fruits, meringue, etc.; in feed additives, it is commonly used in pig feed, sweeteners, etc.; in the daily chemical industry, it is commonly used in toothpaste, mouthwash, eye drops, etc.; in the plating industry, it is commonly used in nickel plating, as a brightener.

Uses of Saccharin Sodium.

Sodium saccharin is a commonly used synthetic sweetener that is 200-500 times sweeter than sucrose. Sodium saccharin is widely used in the food industry, mainly to increase the sweetness of food products. In addition, sodium saccharin has been used to measure blood circulation time.

Sodium saccharin has low toxicity, but its carcinogenicity is controversial. Recent studies have shown that the carcinogenicity of saccharin may be related to sodium ions and high proteinuria in rats. The dosage and administration of saccharin sodium is 1 g intravenously over 8-16 seconds in normal subjects. The indications for saccharin sodium are determination of blood circulation time.

Chemical Properties of Saccharin Sodium.

By chlorosulfonation of toluene with chlorosulfonic acid, o-toluene sulfonyl chloride in oil form and crystalline p-toluene sulfonyl chloride as a by-product are obtained, which are separated and oxidized with ammonia to obtain saccharin, and then alkalized by sodium hydroxide. Colorless to white rhombohedral crystal system plate-like crystals or white crystalline weathered powder. Odorless or with a slight odor.

Very sweet, even in 10000 times the aqueous solution still has very strong sweetness, sweetness threshold value of about 0.00048%. Sweetness in dilute solution is about 500 times that of sucrose. The concentration is sweet when it is dilute, and has bitter flavor when it is concentrated (more than 0.026%), so the concentration should be less than 0.02% when used alone.

When heated under acidic condition, the sweet flavor disappears. And can form bitter o-aminosulfonyl benzoic acid. Soluble in water (1g/1.5m1), slightly soluble in ethanol (1g/50m1).
