Description
Saccharin (CAS 81-07-2) is a synthetic sweetening agent approximately 500 times sweeter than sucrose, with no caloric value. It is commercially known under trade names including Glucid, Gluside, and Garantose, and is registered under EC number 201-321-0 with the molecular formula C7H5NO3S.
In food and beverage formulations, saccharin functions as a non-nutritive sweetener and flavoring agent, masking bitter notes at low concentrations. In personal care products, it contributes to foam stabilization in surfactant systems and acts as a mild antimicrobial, inhibiting microbial growth in aqueous formulations such as mouthwashes and toothpastes.
Saccharin is supplied as crystalline powder in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications, compliant with FCC, Ph.Eur., and REACH requirements. It is classified under HS code 29251100 and available in standard industrial packaging. Buyers should confirm grade suitability against applicable regional food safety and cosmetic regulations prior to procurement.
