PROPERTIES AND APPEARANCE: Sodium saccharin: 200–700 times sweetness of sucrose.<br />

White crystalline powder; bitter, astringent or metallic off-taste, particularly objectionable in<br />

delicately fruit-flavoured products and at high concentrations.<br />

Characteristics of sweeteners (saccharin alone)<br />

Sweetness intensity (at 10% sucrose): 350<br />

Sweetness quality: Slightly chemical sweetness<br />

Time profile: Slower and persistent<br />

Associated taste: Bitter/metallic<br />

Mouthfeel body: Thin<br />

Enhancement of fruitiness: Nil<br />

Characteristics of sweeteners (1 :10 saccharin :cyclamate)<br />

Sweetness intensity (at 10% sucrose): 100<br />

Sweetness quality: Sugar-like<br />

Time profile: As sucrose<br />

Associated taste: None<br />

Mouthfeel body: Good<br />

Enhancement of fruitiness: Good<br />

MELTING RANGE IN °C: Insoluble: 229–230<br />

SOLUBILITY % AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURE/pH COMBINATIONS:<br />

in water: @ 20°C saccharin: 3 g/l<br />

sodium saccharin: 700 g/l (83%)<br />

calcium saccharin: 400 g/l (67%)<br />

in ethanol solution: @ 100% sodium saccharin at 20°C: 20 g/l<br />

calcium saccharin at 20°C: 200 g/l<br />

FUNCTION IN FOODS: Non-nutritive sweetener<br />

TECHNOLOGY OF USE IN FOODS:<br />

Highly stable and relatively inexpensive. Mixed with other products to mask taste, provide bulk and take advantage of synergy. May also be combined with<br />

cream of tartar, glucono-d-lactone, sodium gluconate, glycols, gentian root, maltol, pectin, lemon flavour, ribonucleotides, adipic acid, aldohexuronic acid, and<br />
