【Structural Formula】
1、Product Property
Sodium cyclamate is a white crystalline powder with high water solubility (1g/4.5mL) and a sweet taste approximately 30-50 times sweeter than sucrose. It exhibits excellent thermal stability (up to 150°C) and pH stability (2-10), making it suitable for various food processing conditions. The compound is non-hygroscopic and shows good shelf stability.
2. Quality Standards
| Parameter | Food Grade Specification |
| Assay (C₆H₁₂NNaO₃S) | ≥ 98.0% |
| pH (10% solution) | 5.5-7.5 |
| Loss on Drying | ≤ 1.0% |
| Sulfate (as SO₄) | ≤ 0.1% |
| Heavy Metals (as Pb) | ≤ 10 ppm |
| Arsenic (As) | ≤ 3 ppm |
| Cyclohexylamine | ≤ 25 ppm |
| Selenium (Se) | ≤ 30 ppm |
3. Application Scope and Usage
Sodium cyclamate is primarily used as a non-caloric artificial sweetener in beverages, desserts, and tabletop sweeteners, particularly in sugar-free or reduced-sugar products. It’s widely applied in baked goods, jams, and chewing gum due to its heat stability. The sweetener is often combined with saccharin (typically 10:1 ratio) to improve taste profile. Regulatory approvals vary by country, with restricted use in some markets (e.g., banned in the U.S. since 1969 but permitted in over 50 countries). Maximum usage levels are strictly regulated, generally ranging from 250-1000 mg/kg depending on food categories.
4. Package and Storage
The product is typically packaged in 25 kg food-grade polyethylene-lined woven bags or fiber drums. Storage should be in cool, dry conditions (<25°C) with relative humidity below 60%, away from strong oxidizers. The material remains stable for 36 months when properly sealed. During handling, avoid dust formation and use appropriate PPE (gloves, masks) as the powder may cause mild respiratory irritation. Transport as non-hazardous material, but containers should be protected from moisture and physical damage to maintain product integrity.
