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.

Cyclamate Production: Technological Extraction

For Cyclamate production, the amine cyclohexylamine and an inorganic chemical compound called sulfamic acid are needed. During chemical synthesis, the so-called cyclohexylsulfamic acid is produced. Its calcium and sodium salts (Sodium Cyclamate) taste sweet and can be used for many different products.

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

• Alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages
• Soft drinks • Fruit and vegetable preserves
• Bakery products

Sodium Cyclamate: Combination with Other Sweeteners

Compared to other sweeteners, Sodium Cyclamate has the lowest sweetness. The sugar substitute is only about 40 times as sweet as regular household sugar. However, the taste is closest to natural sugar flavor. Therefore, the sweetener is often used in combination with other sweeteners to increase sweetness while maintaining the authentic sugar flavor of Sodium Cyclamate.

Food additives such as Sodium Cyclamate are suitable for combining with other sweeteners, such as Sucralose or Saccharin. Due to its synergistic properties, Sodium Cyclamate can be complemented with any other sweetener.
