Calcium saccharin is an intensely sweet, non-volatile compound used primarily as an artificial sweetener. It has virtually no smell in the traditional olfactory sense — any perceived character is a faint, dry, slightly metallic-sweet impression rather than an airborne odor.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

White crystals or white crystalline powder.

Solubility

Soluble in water at 40°, poorly soluble in alcohol. Practically odorless.

Flavor

Intensely sweet taste in water. Estimated potency of sweetness: 500 times cane sugar.

Uses in flavor

A non-nutritive sweetener, occasionally used in place of the Sodium salt. In spite of the fact that many Calcium salts have a bitter taste, this salt is only sweet, and apparently not less so than the Sodium salt. Only high concentrations seem to leave the well-known bitter aftertaste. This effect is compensated by using low-potency sweeteners such as Sucaryl salts in combination with the Saccharin salts.

Production

Produced from Saccharin.
