Micronized Saccharin Sodium
Micronized Saccharin Sodium is saccharin sodium processed to a very fine particle size, typically under 10 microns, to improve dissolution in beverages and pharmaceutical liquids. The micronization is a physical process that does not alter the chemical identity of the saccharin salt. It remains a chemically defined organic compound classifiable under tariff item 2925.11.00.
