Cyclamate

Product Description

Cyclamate, whose chemical name is sodium cyclamate, is a commonly used additive in food production. Cyclamate is a commonly used sweetener, and its sweetness is 30-40 times that of sucrose. White crystal or white crystalline powder, odorless, sweet in taste, easily soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol, insoluble in chloroform and ether. It decomposes slightly under acidic conditions and is stable under alkaline conditions. It is a non-nutritive sweetener, with a bitter taste when the concentration is greater than 0.4%. It is a non-nutritive synthetic sweetener, and the price of sodium cyclamate is much lower than that of sucrose, which is an ideal substitute for sucrose. Because of its low cost and high economic value, sodium cyclamate has been welcomed by the majority of food production and processing enterprises.

The sweetness of cyclamate is slower, but it lasts for a long time, and the sweetness is relatively pure. It can be used instead of sucrose or mixed with sucrose. Cyclamate can also be mixed with saccharin to mask the bad taste of saccharin. When the ratio of cyclamate to saccharin is 10:1, the flavor effect of the product is better. The advantage of cyclamate is that it has better sweetness, lower bitterness than saccharin, and lower cost; the disadvantage is that the sweetness is not high, the dosage is large, and it is easy to exceed the standard.
