Calcium saccharin

Calcium saccharin (CAS 6485-34-3) is the calcium salt form of saccharin, a synthetic non-nutritive sweetener approximately 300 times sweeter than sucrose. It is also referenced as calcium saccharinate or SYNCAL CAS and carries no assigned E-number in the EU, though saccharin itself is regulated under E954.

In oral care formulations such as toothpastes and mouthwashes, calcium saccharin masks bitter active ingredients without contributing fermentable sugars, making it compatible with caries-prevention claims. In pharmaceutical tablet coatings and syrups, it provides sweetness at very low concentrations, reducing excipient load. Food and beverage manufacturers use it in tabletop sweetener blends where caloric reduction is required.

Calcium saccharin is commercially available in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade forms, with compliance references including FCC and Ph.Eur. monographs. It falls under REACH registration obligations for EU suppliers. Typical supply formats include 25 kg bags or fiber drums, with documentation covering CoA, SDS, and allergen declarations on request.
