Sodium Cyclamate 80 Mesh
Sodium Cyclamate 80 Mesh is a white, crystalline powder used as an artificial sweetener. It is approximately 30 to 50 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and provides a low-calorie sugar substitute. Due to its high sweetness and stability under heat and acidic conditions, it is commonly used in food and beverage formulations, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products as a sugar alternative.
