sodium saccharin

Saccharin sodium is an organic compound with the chemical formula C7H4NNaO3S. It is a food additive and has no nutritional value for the human body. When consumed in large quantities, it can affect the normal secretion of digestive enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract, reduce the absorption capacity of the small intestine, and reduce appetite. Many countries have restricted the use of saccharin sodium in food processing. In production and business activities, a few enterprises illegally and excessively use food additives such as saccharin sodium in order to unilaterally pursue the sweetness, color, or extend the shelf life of products, posing a potential threat to human health.
