Product Overview

Sodium Saccharin is the sodium salt form of saccharin, one of the oldest and most widely used artificial sweeteners. It is a white, crystalline powder with an intensely sweet taste and no caloric value. As a non-nutritive sweetener, sodium saccharin is approximately 300 to 500 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), allowing for very small quantities to achieve the desired level of sweetness.

Sodium saccharin is highly stable under heat and across a wide pH range, making it suitable for a broad variety of food processing conditions. It is commonly used in sugar-free and low-calorie products, as well as in pharmaceutical formulations for taste masking.

Key Technical Parameters

Sweetness Profile

Click to explore more details

Sodium saccharin delivers an intense sweetness that is approximately 300 to 500 times that of sucrose. In dilute solutions, it provides a clean, sweet taste; at higher concentrations, a slight bitter or metallic aftertaste may be perceived. For this reason, sodium saccharin is often used in combination with other sweeteners—such as aspartame, acesulfame K, or cyclamate—to achieve a sugar-like taste profile.

Production Process

Snowwhite Chemical Co., LTD. supplies sodium saccharin manufactured through a well-established chemical synthesis process, starting from toluene or phthalic anhydride. The production involves sulfonation, ammonolysis, oxidation, and neutralization with sodium hydroxide to yield the sodium salt form.

The final product is available in both anhydrous and dihydrate forms, meeting food-grade (FCC), pharmaceutical-grade (USP), and industrial-grade specifications.
