Product Introduction
Saccharin sodium is a high - intensity artificial sweetener. It presents as white, odorless crystals or a crystalline powder. As a non - nutritive sweetener, its sweetness is about 300 - 500 times that of sucrose, yet it provides almost no caloric value.
Widely acknowledged in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and feed industries, saccharin sodium acts as a crucial alternative for developing low - calorie or sugar - free products. Its stable chemical nature allows it to endure various processing conditions, like high temperatures during cooking or sterilization. This makes it fit for diverse uses, from confectionery to dietetic beverages.

Product Application
Food and Beverage Industry
- Confectionery: Used in hard candies, chewing gums, and chocolate - flavored products to bring sweetness without extra calories. For example, in sugar - free hard candies, it replaces sucrose while keeping the desired sweet taste.
- Beverages: Added to diet sodas, fruit juices, and sports drinks. In diet sodas, it gives a sweet flavor similar to regular sugary sodas but with negligible calories, suiting health - conscious consumers.
- Baked Goods: Applied in low - calorie cakes, cookies, and pastries. It can withstand baking high temperatures, ensuring the sweet taste stays in the final product.
Pharmaceutical and Dietary Supplement Sector
- Oral Medications: Added to syrups, tablets, and chewable pills to hide the bitter taste of active pharmaceutical ingredients. For instance, in children's cough syrups, it improves palatability, making the medication easier to take.
- Dietary Supplements: Used in sugar - free vitamin gummies and protein powders, appealing to those on low - sugar or ketogenic diets.
Feed Industry
- Animal Feed Additive: Enhances the palatability of animal feed, especially for livestock and pets. By improving feed taste, it can boost feed intake and growth rates in animals, aiding better breeding efficiency.
Saccharin sodium, with its high sweetness, low caloric content, and wide applicability, remains a vital ingredient in formulating innovative products across industries. It meets the growing need for healthier and more sustainable sweetening solutions.
