Saccharin is a synthetic sweetener, which is widely used all over the world. Saccharin is not sugar or the essence of sugar, but toluene extracted from coal tar, which is made by chemical reactions such as iodination, chlorination, oxidation, ammoniation, crystallization and dehydration. The chemical name of saccharin is o-sulfonyl benzamide. ?
When saccharin sodium solution is heated and boiled, it will gradually decompose to produce a small amount of benzoic acid, thus producing bitterness. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid heating saccharin for a long time and adding saccharin to acidic foods during cooking. ?
The invention process of saccharin:
1879, Ella Lymson and Konstantin FarHerberger, who worked in the laboratory of Johns Hopkins University in the United States, went home for dinner and were having dinner when they suddenly stopped.
Herberger forgot to wash his hands before dinner. Most chemists will die in this situation, but Herberger accidentally discovered the artificial sweetener-saccharin.
On this discovery, the two of them published a paper together, but only Herberger's name was on the patent of saccharin, and he secretly applied for the patent of saccharin. Later, Lymson said that Fa Herberger was a scoundrel. My name is disgusting with his name.
