Sodium cyclamate

Sodium cyclamate (CAS 139-05-9), also marketed as Sucaryl sodium and designated E952iv, is a synthetic non-nutritive sweetener approximately 30–50 times sweeter than sucrose.

Where is Sodium cyclamate used?

• Food, beverage and pharmaceutical manufacturing: cost-effective sugar substitute
• Blended with saccharin or acesulfame-K to mask off-notes in beverages and tabletop sweeteners
• Confectionery and bakery: sugar-free and reduced-calorie lines
• Pharmaceutical syrups, chewable tablets and oral suspensions: taste-masking agent
• Canned fruit, dairy desserts and dietetic foods where regulatory approval exists
• It is often combined with other high-intensity sweeteners for a balanced sweetness profile.

Good to know: Often used in combination with other high-intensity sweeteners; heat stability during processing is a formulation criterion.
