CAS | 53850-34-3 |
EINECS | 258-822-2 |
Storage Condition | Room Temprature |
Physical and Chemical Properties | Chemical properties White to cream amorphous odorless powder. Sweet and refreshing, no peculiar smell, long duration. The sweetness is extremely strong, and its sweetness is 1600 times that of sucrose on average, but it depends on the concentration of dilution: 5500 to 8000 times at 0.00011%: 3500 times at 0.001%, 1300 times at 0.01%, and 850 times at 0.02%. The aqueous solution is stable at pH 1.8~10, and the isoelectric point is about pH 11. Because it is protein, it can be denatured by heating and lose its sweetness. It will also lose its sweetness when combined with tannins. The sweetness will decrease in high concentration salt solution. Easily soluble in water, insoluble in acetone. Sharing with sugar sweeteners has synergistic effect and flavor improvement effect. |
Use | Use non-caloric sweeteners, flavoring agents. It has the advantages of enhancing flavor, masking bitterness, improving taste (producing thick and creamy taste), and being able to combine with other sweeteners. For general food and health food. It is suitable to be used in combination with saccharides such as sucrose and the like for gum sugar, beverages, cold drinks, sweets, baked products and the like. |

introduction
Somatian is a white to cream-colored amorphous odorless powder. Sweet and refreshing, no peculiar smell, long duration. The sweetness is extremely strong, with an average sweetness of 1600 times that of sucrose, but depends on the concentration of dilution: 5500-8000 times at 0.00011%: 3500 times at 0.001%, 1300 times at 0.01%, and 850 times at 0.02%.

use
Non-caloric sweetener, flavoring agent
content analysis
Nitrogen is determined by conventional methods, and then the protein content is calculated.
Toxicity
It has a long history of being used as a sweetener in Sudan. Rats and dogs had no effect for 90d.
The acute and subacute toxicity tests, teratogenicity, mutation and immunity tests have proved safe.
ADI does not make special regulations (FAO/WHO,2001).
