CAS: 65113-99-7
Sanda Sweet, identified by CAS: 65113-99-7, is chemically known as Sodium Cyclamate. It is an artificial sweetener discovered in 1937. It typically appears as a white, odorless crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water. Sodium Cyclamate is approximately 30-50 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and is often used in combination with other sweeteners to enhance sweetness and improve taste profiles.
It is widely used as a non-nutritive sweetener in various food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, and personal care items. Its primary function is to provide a sweet taste without adding calories or sugar, making it suitable for diabetic diets and weight management. It's often blended with other high-intensity sweeteners, such as saccharin, to achieve a more balanced taste profile and mask potential aftertastes.
Specific applications include diet soft drinks, tabletop sweeteners, canned fruits, jams, jellies, baked goods, and dairy products. In the pharmaceutical industry, it's used in sugar-free medications, syrups, and tablets. It also finds application in oral hygiene products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes for a sweetening effect.
Sodium Cyclamate has a complex regulatory history. While approved for use in over 100 countries (including the EU, Canada, China, and Australia), it was banned in the United States in 1969 due to early studies suggesting a potential link to bladder cancer in rats. Subsequent re-evaluations by international bodies like the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) and Health Canada have largely concluded that cyclamates are safe for human consumption within established Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) levels, typically ranging from 7-11 mg/kg body weight/day. Potential side effects, though rare at approved levels, can include nausea or diarrhea. A portion of ingested cyclamate can be metabolized by gut bacteria into cyclohexylamine, which has a different toxicological profile.
