Overview of Sodium Saccharin
Sodium Saccharin is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener and pharmaceutical excipient used to improve palatability in oral formulations by masking bitter tastes without adding calories. It is 300–500 times sweeter than sucrose and is commonly employed in syrups, tablets, and chewable medications. This API appears as a white crystalline powder or crystals with excellent heat stability and long shelf life, even in acidic conditions. Its chemical formula is C₇H₄NNaO₃S (anhydrous), CAS No. 128-44-9 (anhydrous form). Related products include Sulphamethoxazole, Tolvaptan, and Tadalafil, commonly used in antibacterial, renal, and urological formulations.
