First of all, make sure that saccharin sodium is not sugar. Although saccharin sodium can increase the sweetness of food, it is a sugar-free sweetener, and its sweetness is about 500 times that of sucrose.

Secondly, saccharin sodium is a food additive, mainly composed of saccharin and sodium chloride, potassium chloride, tartaric acid, glycerin, phosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide, etc. It is mainly used in cakes, candies, pastries and other foods to improve taste and sweetness.
