Saccharin Sodium with 8-12 Mesh

I.  Description : Saccharine Sodium 4-6,5-8,8-12,10-20,20-40,40-80 mesh

A)  Sodium saccharin, the salt form of saccharin, is most commonly known as a widely used artificial sweetener. The compound is thought to be from 300 to 500 times as sweet as conventional sugar, or sucrose. Sodium saccharin can be found in diet soft drinks, syrups, baked goods, ice cream, and other sweet foods and drinks.

B) Pure saccharin is not water soluble enough to be useful in food items, but its sodium salt contains the properties necessary to make it useful in the production of artificial sweeteners.

II.  Applications: Saccharine Sodium 4-6,5-8,8-12,10-20,20-40,40-80 mesh

Artificial sweeteners are used by people who want to limit their consumption of sugar and calories but still consume sweet tasting food and drinks. While it is certainly most famously used in food products, sodium saccharin is also used in the chemical and agricultural industries as an aid in the production

of herbicides and pesticides. It is also used as part of a solution used to coat metals, such as gold and nickel.

A) Food Industry
Used as a non-nutritive sweetener and stabilizer in a variety of food and drinks. Bakeries use sodium saccharin to sweeten baked goods, breads, cookies and muffins. Artificially sweetened diet drinks and sodas use sodium saccharin since it dissolves readily in water. Other products that contain sodium saccharin include marzipan, plain, sweetened and fruit-flavored yogurt, jams/jellies and ice cream.

B) Chemical and Agricultural Industry
Sodium saccharin is an intermediate chemical ingredient in the production of pesticides and herbicides. It is a catalytic agent in the manufacture of anaerobic adhesive--an adhesive that stiffens without the presence of oxygen. Anaerobic adhesives are called locking compounds or sealants and are used to seal and secure close-fitting parts.
