Sodium saccharin

Sodium saccharin (CAS 128-44-9), also known commercially as saccharin sodium anhydrous and listed as E954(iv), is a non-nutritive synthetic sweetener approximately 300–500 times sweeter than sucrose.

It is used across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing to deliver intense sweetness without caloric contribution. In food and beverage production, it sweetens tabletop sweetener blends and diet soft drinks.

It is also ideal for low-calorie confectionery where sugar reduction is a formulation target. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into oral dosage forms like syrups, chewable tablets, and lozenges.

This ingredient helps to mask bitter active ingredients and improve patient compliance. Personal care formulators use it in toothpastes, mouthwashes, and lip care products to provide sweetness and enhance flavor.

It also appears in animal feed and veterinary preparations as a palatability enhancer. Sodium saccharin is supplied as a white crystalline powder or fine granules, with particle size options available to suit processes.

Standard commercial grades include food-grade (FCC), pharmaceutical-grade (USP/BP), and technical-grade material. Bulk supply is typically offered in 25 kg bags for industrial use.

Documentation is available supporting both food and pharma regulatory requirements. This ensures high quality and consistency for manufacturers across various global markets and specialized applications.
