Sodium Cyclamate used as sweetener for food processing, additive for medicine, cosmetics and feed, etc.

 

 

Advantages of Sodium Cyclamate

 

Cyclamate offers great taste
Cyclamate is about 30 to 40 times sweeter than table sugar. Cyclamate provides an excellent taste and also has the ability to enhance flavors. Also, cyclamate is sometimes used as a flavoring agent for many toothpastes, mouthwashes and pharmaceutical preparations, such as to mask the taste of unpleasant-tasting drugs.
 

Cyclamate is stable and soluble
Because cyclamate is highly soluble in water and heat stable, as an artificial sweetener it can be used in cooking and baking and is ideal for most food formulations. It has a long shelf life and can also be used in products that are pasteurized.
 

Cyclamate can help with weight management
Cyclamate is calorie-free, making it a helpful alternative low calorie sweetener for people trying to reduce their sugar or calorie intake. Many diet or light products including soft drinks, candies, dairy and baked goods are sweetened with cyclamate.
 

Cyclamate is synergistic
When combined with other low-calorie sweeteners, cyclamate enhances the overall sweet taste and reduces the total amount of sweetener needed to obtain a desired level of sweetness. This unique synergistic property makes cyclamate an excellent complement to other low calorie sweeteners including saccharin, aspartame, table sugar, acesulfame K and stevia. For example, a blend of 5 mg saccharin and 50 mg cyclamate provides the same sweetness as either 125 mg of cyclamate or 12.5 mg of saccharin if used separately.
 

Cyclamate does not promote tooth decay
Because it is non-caloric, cyclamate is not a food source by oral bacteria that cause dental problems.
 

Cyclamate is helpful for those managing diabetes
Cyclamate allows those managing diabetes to satisfy their taste for sweets without affecting blood sugar, which gives them flexibility in meal planning with the resulting variety of diabetic foods available.
 

Cyclamate is economical
Cyclamate is less expensive than other sweeteners, including sugar.

 

Characteristics of Sodium Cyclamate

 

 

Similarly to other artificial sweeteners, the sweetening effect of Sodium Cyclamate is several times stronger than that of sugar: it is app. 30 times sweeter. Sodium Cyclamate does not have any aftertaste, except for some saltiness when used in high concentrations. It can be diluted in water and ethanol. It is heat and light-resistant and remains stable even in case of PH changes. They usually use it along with other sweeteners rather than on its own. The best effect can be achieved by mixing it with saccharin, in a 10:1 cyclamate/saccharin dilution. Sodium Cyclamate is not transformed into energy in the human body, so it is ideal to be used in energy-restricted and diabetes diets. It does not cause dental caries either.

 

 
 
What're the Uses of Sodium Cyclamate?
01.

Sweetener

Sodium cyclamate is used as a sweetener in a variety of food and beverage products, including soft drinks, baked goods, jams, jellies, and chewing gum. It is often used in combination with other sweeteners, such as saccharin or aspartame, to enhance the sweetness and mask the aftertaste.

02.

Low-calorie products

Because sodium cyclamate is much sweeter than sugar, it can be used in smaller quantities to achieve the same level of sweetness. This makes it a popular ingredient in low-calorie and sugar-free products.

03.

Pharmaceuticals

Sodium cyclamate is also used as a flavor enhancer and sweetener in some pharmaceutical products, such as cough syrups and liquid medications.

04.

Cosmetics

Sodium cyclamate is sometimes used as a sweetener in cosmetic products, such as lip balms and toothpaste.

 

Safety of Sodium Cyclamate

Over the past 50 years, organizations including the World Health Organization's Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have examined and studied cyclamate. Cyclamate is now approved for use in more than 100 countries including Europe, Canada, and Australia. During the 50 years of cyclamate use by millions of people, there have been no reported safety problems. JECFA has reviewed the scientific literature related to cyclamate and consistently determined that it is safe for human consumption. Cyclamate also has been approved by the SCF of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). A petition for the reapproval of cyclamate in the U.S. has been submitted for review by the FDA. The petition features extensive scientific evidence, including 75 studies, that demonstrates the safety of cyclamate for human use.

Sodium Cyclamate: The Sweetener with Authentic Sugar Taste

 

 

Sodium cyclamate is a commonly used synthetic sweetener. The sugar substitute has been approved since 1963 and is mainly used in soft drinks. Sodium Cyclamate is often referred to as Cyclamate, which is misleading as Cyclamates can refer to sodium, potassium, and calcium salts.


Sodium cyclamate has a high sweetness without any calories and is thus particularly suitable for people who want to reduce their calorie intake. Cyclamate sweetener is also suitable for people with diabetes, as this sugar substitute has no effect on blood sugar levels. Sodium Cyclamate is also very stable, and its sweetness can be maintained even at high temperatures and longer storage times.


The sweetener is available as a white, odorless powder and is listed under the E number E952.

 

Sodium Cyclamate Sweetener: Use in Foods
 

Sodium cyclamate is a proven food additive. The sugar substitute is used whenever foods need to be sweetened without calories or sugar. This is especially advantageous in diet and sugar-reduced products. Sodium Cyclamate is also found in diabetes products because the sweetener does not raise blood sugar levels. Since Sodium Cyclamate can enhance the flavor of fruits, the sugar substitute is often found in fruit and vegetable preparations.
The sodium cyclamate sweetener is also found in the following foods:
• Sweets
• Fermented dairy products
• Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
• Soft drinks
• Fruit and vegetable preserves
• Bakery products
• Table sweeteners
• Dietary supplements
• Calorie-reduced or sugar-free jams
• Calorie-reduced desserts

 

The correct use of Sodium Cyclamate
 

Use the right ratio: Sweetener and water are used in a ratio of 1:500 to achieve sufficient sweetness.

 

When used alone: The sweetness of 10 grams of sweetener is equivalent to 500 grams of sucrose.

 

When used with cane sugar: When sweetener and cane sugar are used together, the sweetness can be more than 80 times; when citric acid and other organic acids are added, the sweetness can be further increased to 100 times or more.

 

Spraying method: In the management of fruit trees, the spraying time of sweeteners is generally in the period of flower formation and flower fall, and the spraying interval should be determined according to the climate and growth status of fruit trees. Methods of application include spraying, dipping, brushing, etc. When applied, it should be sprayed evenly on the leaves and fruit of fruit trees.

 

Sodium Cyclamate Production Process
1

Extraction: Sucrose is used as the raw material and the sucrose is separated from the cane juice by solution extraction to obtain sucrose solution.

2

Refining: The sucrose solution is refined to remove impurities and contaminants to obtain the pure sucrose solution.

3

Hydrolysis: The pure sucrose solution is hydrolysed to break it down into sweeteners and sucrose acids.

4

Separation: Separation of the sweetener and sucralose from the hydrolysed product by physical or chemical means.

5

Purification: Further purification of the sweeteners to remove residual impurities and contaminants to produce a purer sweetener.

6

Crystallisation: Crystallisation of the pure sweetener solution so that the sweetener is crystallised from the solution.

7

Drying: Dry the sweetener crystals, remove the water from the crystals and obtain the dried sweetener product.

 

 
 
What Are the Storage Requirements for Sodium Cyclamate?
01.

Store in a bright, dry and cool place

Sweetener should be stored in a light, dry and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent its properties from being affected.

02.

Keep sealed

Low-calorie sweeteners should be kept sealed to prevent the ingress of air and moisture to maintain their stability and purity.

03.

Avoid mixing with poisonous and harmful items

During storage and transport, sweeteners should be stored and transported separately from poisonous and harmful articles to prevent cross-contamination.

04.

Handle and place with care

In the process of handling, it should be held and placed lightly, avoiding strong vibrations and shocks, so as not to affect its physical properties and chemical stability.

 

What You Should Know When Use Sodium Cyclamate?

1. Dosage control: Low-calorie sweeteners are hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose, so only a very small amount is needed to achieve the same sweetening effect. It is sufficient to add a few grams of sweetener per kilogram of food to avoid overuse, which can lead to excessive sweetness or other adverse reactions.

 

2. Understand stability: Low-calorie sweeteners are stable in acidic conditions, but can break down and fail at high temperatures. When cooking or processing food, it is necessary to make a reasonable selection and control according to the characteristics of sweeteners to avoid excessive heating or prolonged heating leading to the failure of sweeteners, thus affecting the taste and quality of food.

 

3. Scope of use: Low-calorie sweeteners are suitable for use in the production and processing of various foods and beverages, but not all foods are suitable for the use of low-calorie sweeteners. Some special foods or beverages, such as yeast-raised foods or foods containing certain special ingredients, may not be suitable for the use of sweeteners. Therefore, appropriate selection and control should be made according to the actual situation when they are used.

 

4.Preservation and storage: Sweeteners should be stored in a cool and dry environment, avoiding direct sunlight or high temperatures. Low-calorie sweeteners absorb moisture readily, so care should be taken during use to avoid affecting their sweetening power and stability.

 

5. Combination with other medicines: Low-calorie sweeteners should not be used with certain medications as they may interact and cause adverse effects. When using low-calorie sweeteners, you should follow your doctor's advice and avoid using them at the same time as certain medications.

 

6. Long-term effects: Long-term use of large amounts of low-calorie sweeteners may cause adverse effects on the liver and kidneys. Therefore, dosage should be controlled when using low-calorie sweeteners to avoid overdose.2 In addition, pregnant and breastfeeding women and children should use low-calorie sweeteners with caution and preferably under medical supervision.
