Description

C_7H_4NNaO_3S

• Saccharin sodium is an artificial sweetener used in the food industry to provide intense sweetness without adding significant calories or sugar.
• Manufacturers commonly add it to diet beverages, sugar-free candies, tabletop sweeteners, and processed foods intended for reduced-sugar formulations.
• It is much sweeter than sucrose, so only very small amounts are needed to achieve the desired taste in food products.
• Food companies use saccharin sodium because it remains stable under heat and during long storage periods, making it suitable for industrial processing.
• On ingredient labels, it typically appears as a non-nutritive sweetener and is approved for regulated food use within established safety limits.
