Introduction：Sodium saccharin, or sodium ortho-sulphobenzimide (molecular formula C₆H₄NNaO₃S.2H₂O), is an odorless, colorless white powder with a characteristic sweet taste. It is associated with various health defects, due to which the World Health Organization limits its daily intake to less than 0.5 milligrams per kilogram.
Appearance: Sodium Saccharin occurs as colorless to white crystals or power.
Molecular formula: (C₆H₄SO₂NCO)Na.2H₂O
Molecular weight: 241.2
CAS Number:128-44-9
Stability:Stable under ordinary conditions of use and storage.
Application: Food Industry
•According to "Introduction to Food Toxicology", sodium saccharin is 300 to 500 times sweeter than sugar (sucrose). The food industry uses sodium saccharine as an additive in various products. It is used as a non-nutritive sweetener and stabilizer in a variety of food and drinks.
•Sodium saccharin is an intermediate chemical ingredient in the production of pesticides and herbicides. It is a catalytic agent in the manufacture of anaerobic adhesive--an adhesive that stiffens without the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic adhesives are called locking compounds or sealants and are used to seal and secure close-fitting parts.
Electroplating Industry
•According to "Saccharin from China", sodium saccharin is useful in the electroplating industry as an additive in metalworking fluids and adhesives.
Pharmaceutical Industry
•The pharmaceutical industry uses sodium saccharin as a coating on drugs. Chewable multivitamin and calcium tablets often contain sodium saccharin to improve their taste.
