Introduction
Sodium saccharin is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H4NO3SNa. It is a food additive with no nutritional value to humans. Sweetness is 200 to 500 times that of sucrose, generally 300 times, with a sweetness threshold of about 0.00048%. It is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and the aqueous solution is weakly alkaline. Its thermal stability in an aqueous solution is better than saccharin, with no change when heated at 100℃ for 2 hours. Eating too much of it will affect the normal secretion of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes, reduce the absorption capacity of the small intestine and decrease appetite.
Applications
Sodium saccharin is widely used in the following industries.
1. Food: general cold drinks, beverages, jellies, popsicles, pickles, preserves, pastries, candied fruit, meringue, etc. Used in the food industry and sweetened diet for diabetic patients, commonly used as a synthetic sweetener.
2, feed additives: pig feed, sweeteners, etc.
3、Chemical industry: toothpaste, mouthwash, eye drops, etc.
4, electroplating industry: electroplating grade sodium saccharin is mainly used for electroplating nickel, used as a brightening agent. Adding a small amount of sodium saccharin can improve the brightness and softness of electroplated nickel. The general dosage is 0.1--0.3g per litre.
