Sodium Saccharin

Sodium saccharin, a popular artificial sweetener, is synthesized by reacting sulfobenzoic acid with acetic anhydride. This chemical process is vital for efficient saccharin production. Beginning with the reaction between acetic anhydride and sulfobenzoic acid, it yields sodium saccharin, followed by purification to remove impurities. Neutralization with sodium hydroxide produces the sodium salt of saccharin. Sodium saccharin finds wide application in the food and beverage industry due to its sweetening properties.
