SACCHARINE PLAIN INSOLUBLE

Saccharine Plain Insoluble is a synthetic, non-nutritive sweetener widely used as a sugar substitute in various industries. It is characterized by its high-intensity sweetness—approximately 300 to 500 times sweeter than sucrose—while being calorie-free. Due to its insoluble nature, it is commonly used in formulations where minimal solubility in water is required. Saccharine Plain Insoluble is used in food, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications, providing a cost-effective and long-lasting sweetness without contributing to blood sugar levels or calorie content.
