Overview | pure saccharin, is a non-toxic, non-calorie, non-nutritive, not absorbed by the body of the sweetener. The use of its sweet characteristics, as a food additive, instead of sugar. Saccharin as a food additive, in addition to the taste caused by the feeling of sweet, taste sweetness can meet the requirements of consumers, the human body without any nutritional value. Commercially available "Saccharin" is actually its sodium salt, sodium saccharin. After being ingested by people, saccharin is excreted in vitro with urination and bowel movement, but excessive consumption will cause poisoning. FAO/WHO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations/United Nations World Health Organization (WHO)) in 1994, the daily weight intake of 0~5 mg/kg. On October 27, World Health Organization (WHO), the International Agency for Research on Cancer published a preliminary list of carcinogens for reference, saccharin and its salts in the list of three carcinogens. Saccharin is not a good sweetener. Its "sweet" is not pure, after eating the "Aftertaste" is very poor, high concentration and bitter taste. In 1937, a graduate student at the University of Illinois discovered cyclamate. The sweetness of this substance is 30 to 50 times that of sucrose, and its sweet taste is not pure, but its price is lower than that of saccharin. More importantly, when it is mixed with saccharin, it can mask the defects of each other, so as to obtain a sweet taste closer to sucrose. In 1958, sodium cyclamate was also eligible for GRAS. |
properties | solubility: solubility in water is very low, soluble in sodium carbonate, soluble in alcohol, acetone glycerol, slightly soluble in chloroform and ether. |
Use | saccharin, also known as saccharin sodium, is the oldest sweetener. Saccharin was discovered by American scientists in 1878 and was soon accepted by the food industry and consumers. The sweetness of saccharin is 300 times to 500 times that of sucrose. It is not metabolized and absorbed by the human body and is stable in the production of various foods. The disadvantage is poor flavor, after the bitter, which makes its application is limited. For many years, saccharin has been the only synthetic sweetener produced and used in large quantities in the world. Especially during the Second World War, the use of saccharin in the world increased significantly. Non-nutritive sweetener. The sodium or ammonium salts thereof are generally used. But it can dissolve slowly in the mouth, so it is suitable for chewing gum, the highest dosage of 0.05g/kg (Japan, 1998). saccharin, I .e., O-benzoylsulfonimide, is an intermediate of the fungicide allyl benzothiazole and the herbicides metsulfuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl, tribenuron-methyl and chlorsulfuron-methyl. mainly used in the production of pesticide intermediates and production of saccharin sodium mammalian sweet taste enhancer; Used as phosphotransferase and phosphohydrolase inhibitors; for the determination of thallium |
health hazard | saccharin is a synthetic sweetener ", there is no nutritional value to the human body except for the feeling of sweet in the sense of taste. On the contrary, when eating more saccharin, will affect the normal secretion of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes, reduce the absorption capacity of the small intestine, so that loss of appetite. In particular, a small number of consumers do not know the harm of saccharin, and consume a large amount of saccharin in a short period of time, causing thrombocytopenia and causing acute hemorrhage, multiple organ damage, etc., causing malignant poisoning events. The situation of saccharin in China seems to be more serious. In May 2015, the country implemented the new "standards for the use of food additives", further narrowing the scope of the use of sodium saccharin (soluble saccharin), bread, cakes, biscuits, beverages the use of saccharin in these four types of food is prohibited. |
content analysis | a pre-dried sample of 0.5g was accurately weighed and dissolved in 75ml of hot water. Rapid cooling, phenolphthalein solution (TS-167) several drops, with 0.1mol/L sodium hydroxide titration. Each ml of 0.1mol/L sodium hydroxide is equivalent to saccharin (C7H5NO3S)18.32mg. |
toxicity | ADI 0~5(ADI refers to the sum of saccharin and its calcium, potassium and sodium salts; FAO/WHO,2001). LD50 14200mg/kg (rat, oral). |
usage limit | FDA,§ 180.37(2000): beverages, fruit juices, solid beverages, 12mg/liquid, sweetness corresponds to an amount of 20mg of a tablespoon; 30mg per serving of processed food of the specified size. USDA,9CFR,§ 318.7(2000): pricking meat (bacon) 0.01%. |
carcinogenic doubt | in the 60 s of the 20th century, various academic studies suggested that saccharin may be a carcinogen. In 1976, a study reported that when mice were fed high doses of saccharin (the amount of saccharin found in hundreds of cans of cola), the risk of bladder cancer rose dramatically. In that year, Canada banned the use of saccharin, while the U. S. Food and Drug Administration imposed a ban on the use of saccharin in food. At that time, saccharin was the only sugar substitute in the US market, and the ban caused strong public opposition, especially for people with diabetes. Finally, the US Congress suspended the ban on saccharin, stating that all foods containing saccharin must display a warning label stating that 'saccharin may be a carcinogen '. Some studies have shown that it has been found in animal experiments to lead to the possibility of bladder cancer, the animal cancer is positive, a large number of intake will cause thrombocytopenia and cause acute bleeding, can damage the structure of cells and liver, kidney, will induce bladder cancer. But no adverse effects were found in human trials. Many studies have demonstrated no association between saccharin and the risk of cancer, particularly bladder cancer. All the studies point to the clear fact that a normal dose of saccharin consumption does not have much impact on human health. Questions about the safety of saccharin come from a flawed study that pointed to the adverse effects of large amounts of sugar substitutes on bladder tumors in laboratory white rats. Further studies have shown that the carcinogen of saccharin in rats does not apply to humans. The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences concluded in 2000 that saccharin had been removed from the list of suspected carcinogens. In 1991, 14 years after the ban, the U. S. Food and Drug Administration formally withdrew its proposal to ban saccharin, and in 2000, the U, saccharin products need not be labeled with health warnings. |
production method | the preparation method is the degradation of phthalic anhydride by amination, diazotization, replacement, oxidation, acid Analysis and other steps. Add phthalic anhydride to the reaction pan, add ammonium hydroxide solution at 0 ℃, raise the temperature to 50 ℃, add sodium hydroxide solution, control the rate of adding alkali, keep the temperature below 70 ℃, the pH was maintained between 8.5 and 8.9.
