Sodium saccharinate
Description
Sodium saccharinate (CAS 82385-42-0) is the hydrated sodium salt form of saccharin, commercially recognized as sodium saccharin hydrate. It functions as a high-intensity, non-caloric sweetener used across food and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
This versatile ingredient is essential where sugar-free formulation is required. In food and beverage production, it delivers intense sweetness at very low use levels, making it a cost-effective sucrose replacement.
It is frequently utilized in tabletop sweeteners, diet drinks, and confectionery. Pharmaceutical manufacturers incorporate it into oral dosage forms such as syrups, chewable tablets, and lozenges to mask bitter active ingredients.
This masking capability helps improve patient compliance across various treatments. Personal care formulators use it in toothpastes, mouthwashes, and lip care products to provide sweetness without promoting tooth decay.
It also appears in nutraceutical and dietary supplement formulations where caloric content must be minimized. Sodium saccharinate is supplied as a white crystalline powder or fine granules for industrial use.
Food-grade and USP/BP grades are the most commonly traded specifications. Food-grade material meets FCC standards for use in regulated food applications, ensuring safety and consistency for global manufacturers.
Bulk quantities are typically available in 25 kg bags for large-scale production. Pharmaceutical-grade material is subject to tighter purity and heavy metals specifications compared to standard industrial grades.
