Description
Saccharin is an artificial sweetener 300-400 times as sweet as sucrose. It is commonly blended with aspartame to ensure the product maintains sweetness beyond aspartame's relatively short shelf life. Its stability at high temperatures allow saccharin to be used in baking application where aspartame would be unsuitable.
