Saccharin is a non-nutritive sweetener and is considered to be a low-calorie substitute for cane sugar. It is used in a variety of industries such as food and beverage, personal care products, table top sweeteners, electroplating brighteners, pharmaceuticals, etc. There are primarily two types of saccharin — soluble and insoluble.
