Sodium saccharin, also known as soluble saccharin, is the sodium salt of saccharin, with two crystal water, easy to lose it and change to anhydrous. Sodium Saccharin is unstable when heated but it does not react chemically with other food ingredients. As such, it stores well. Blends of sodium saccharin with other sweeteners are often used to compensate for each sweetener's weaknesses.
As a sweet taste agent, its sweet degree is about 500 times sweeter than that of sugar. In countries where sodium saccharin is allowed as a food additive, it is used to sweeten products such as drinks, candies, medicines, toothpaste, and electroplainting etc.
