E952 - Cyclamate

Sodium cyclamate is 30 to 40 times sweeter than sugar (depending on its concentration; it is not a linear relationship), making it the least sweet of all artificial sweeteners.

Some people find it has an unpleasant aftertaste, but generally less so than saccharin and its salts or than acesulfame potassium.

It is usually used in synergy with other sweeteners, especially with saccharin; a common mixture is 10 parts cyclamate to 1 part saccharin, which masks the aftertastes of both substances.

Application:

  • In the food production industry, for example, in non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, it can act as a sugar substitute.
  • For daily life, as a basic ingredient in cosmetic products, toothpaste, etc.
  • Home cooking.
  • Sugar replacement for diabetic patients.
  • Packaged in bags widely used in hotels, restaurants, and travel.
  • Additives for certain medications.
