What is Sodium Cyclamate ？

Sodium cyclamate is a synthetic sweetener that is 30 to 50 times sweeter than sugar. It is used as a sugar substitute in a wide range of food and beverage products, including soft drinks, desserts, candies, and chewing gums. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a flavoring agent and sweetener in certain medications.

Sodium cyclamate was first discovered in 1937 by a graduate student at the University of Illinois, and it was later developed for use as a sweetener by the Calco Chemical Company (now a subsidiary of Union Carbide). It was approved for use as a food additive in the United States in 1950, but it was banned in 1969 due to concerns about its safety. However, it continues to be used as a sweetener in many other countries worldwide, including Canada, Mexico, and several countries in South America, Asia, and Europe.

Sodium cyclamate is considered safe for human consumption by some regulatory bodies such as the World Health Organization, however, it’s banned in some countries including the United States. It’s believed that long-term consumption of large amounts of sodium cyclamate may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.

Extract method of Sodium Cyclamate？

Sodium cyclamate is a synthetic sweetener and it is not extracted from any natural sources. It is made through a chemical process involving the reaction of cyclohexylamine and sodium hydroxide as i mentioned in my last response. This process is typically carried out by chemical companies that specialize in the production of food additives and sweeteners.

It should be noted that the use of Sodium Cyclamate is banned in some countries including the United States, due to concerns about its safety. Therefore, it’s important to check the local regulations before manufacturing or use it.

Appearance of Sodium Cyclamate？

Sodium cyclamate is a white, crystalline powder with a sweet taste. It is odorless and has a very low level of solubility in water. It is typically sold as a powder, but it can also be found in tablet form.

Sodium cyclamate is typically used as a sweetener in a wide range of food and beverage products, including soft drinks, desserts, candies, and chewing gums, it is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a flavoring agent and sweetener in certain medications.

It is important to note that the use of Sodium Cyclamate is banned in some countries including the United States, due to concerns about its safety. Therefore, it’s important to check the local regulations before manufacturing or use it.
