Description

Saccharin Sodium Salt Dihydrate CAS NO 82385-42-0 is the dihydrate form of the sodium salt of saccharin, a widely recognized high-intensity artificial sweetener. This compound is valued for its exceptional stability and intense sweetness, which is approximately 300-500 times that of sucrose, making it a highly effective and economical sugar substitute. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries seeking non-caloric and non-cariogenic sweetening solutions.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a non-nutritive sweetener in diet soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, baked goods, candies, and chewing gum.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed as a sweetening excipient in syrups, elixirs, chewable tablets, and liquid medications to improve palatability, especially for diabetic or calorie-restricted patients.
• Oral Care Products: Incorporated into toothpaste, mouthwash, and other dental hygiene products to provide a pleasant taste without promoting tooth decay.
• Animal Feed Additive: Used to enhance the palatability of certain feedstocks for livestock and pets.
• Industrial Applications: Serves in electroplating baths and as an intermediate in certain chemical synthesis processes.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Added to lip balms, lipsticks, and other products where a sweet flavor is desired.

Quality Control

Our Saccharin Sodium Salt Dihydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It can be supplied to meet various pharmacopeial standards, including USP-NF, EP, BP, and FCC grades for food and pharmaceutical applications. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and safety. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
