Saccharin, also called saccharine, benzosulfimide, or E954, or used in saccharin sodium or saccharin calcium forms, is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener. [ 1 ] [ 5 ] Saccharin is a sultam that is about 500 times sweeter than sucrose , but has a bitter or metallic aftertaste , especially at high concentrations. [ 1 ]
Cyclamate is an artificial sweetener.It is 30–50 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), making it the least potent of the commercially used artificial sweeteners. It is often used with other artificial sweeteners, especially saccharin; the mixture of 10 parts cyclamate to 1 part saccharin is common and masks the off-tastes of both sweeteners. [1]

Acesulfame potassium (Ace-K) is 200 times sweeter than sucrose (common sugar), as sweet as aspartame, about two-thirds as sweet as saccharin, and one-third as sweet as sucralose. Like saccharin, it has a slightly bitter aftertaste, especially at high concentrations. Kraft Foods has patented the use of sodium ferulate to mask acesulfame's ...
Sucralose is used in many food and beverage products because it is a non-nutritive sweetener (14 kilojoules [3.3 kcal] per typical one-gram serving), [3] does not promote dental cavities, [7] is safe for consumption by diabetics and nondiabetics, [8] and does not affect insulin levels, [9] although the powdered form of sucralose-based sweetener product Splenda (as most other powdered sucralose ...
Diet sodas were quickly reformulated with saccharin alone (in the hopes that consumers would tolerate the metallic aftertaste), but the market share of diet sodas rapidly fell from 20% to 3% overall. [2] [7] After further studies in the 1980s linked saccharin to cancer as well, most manufacturers switched to aspartame in 1983. [2] [8]
Sodium is a chemical element; it has symbol Na (from Neo-Latin natrium) and atomic number 11. It is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. Sodium is an alkali metal, being in group 1 of the periodic table. Its only stable isotope is 23 Na. The free metal does not occur in nature and must be prepared from compounds.
Early-1970s Tab can and a late-1970s can bearing the saccharin warning along the bottom. Tab was reformulated several times. It was initially sweetened with a mixture of cyclamate and saccharin. [17] After the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a ban on cyclamate in 1969, sodium saccharin was used as the beverage's primary sweetener. [17]
