What is Saccharin？

Saccharin is an artificial sweetener appearing as a white, odorless crystalline powder with an intensely sweet taste (approximately 300-500 times sweeter than sucrose). It is sparingly soluble in water but readily soluble in alkaline solutions. The compound exhibits high stability under a wide range of pH and temperature conditions, making it suitable for various food and beverage applications. It is not metabolized by the human body and provides zero calories.
