Abstract:

Twenty saccharin-containing table sweeteners, in the form of tablets, liquids, crystals, or blends, and manufactured or distributed by 15 different companies, were analyzed for their o-toluenesulfonamide (o-TS) content. A previously described procedure for the determination of o-TS in commercial saccharin was found to be applicable to the determination of o-TS in these preparations. o-TS was found in all analyzed samples, in amounts ranging from 57 to 3811 ppm. In some cases the concentration of o-TS varied even from lot to lot from the same manufacturer. One pair of lots contained 57 and 67 ppm o-TS, respectively, while in another 711 and 3003 PPM O-TS were found. Gas-liquid chromatographic patterns of samples from the same distributor (or manufacturer) were similar and characteristic of the brand. Recoveries of o-TS from liquid and tablet preparations were almost quantitative, while recoveries from saccharin blends were in the 95-103% range.
