Sodium Saccharin, also known as Sodium Saccharinate, is a highly effective non-nutritive sweetener extensively used in the food and beverage industry due to its approximately 300 times sweeter taste than sucrose and very low calorie content. The product is characterized by its high purity, strong stability, and easy solubility, making it a preferred choice for various food and beverage processing applications.
The odorless white crystalline powder or crystals of Sodium Saccharin come in different mesh sizes, such as 4-6, 5-8, 6-10, 8-12, 8-16, 10-20, 20-40, and 40-80 mesh. Additionally, the product is available in different package sizes, including 454g/bag, 500g/bag, 25kg/bag/carton/drum, 45kg/drum, and 50kg/drum, among others. This wide range of package sizes allows customers to choose the best option that meets their diverse packaging needs.
