Abstract

Sodium cyclamate is an artificial sweetener widely used in food products due to its high sweetness level and economical cost. However, excessive consumption may pose health risks such as liver disorders, the formation of cyclohexylamine metabolites that are carcinogenic, and potential organ damage. Mobile coffee beverages are processed drink products that often contain food additives such as sweeteners to enhance their flavor. The use of these sweeteners may involve artificial sweeteners like sodium cyclamate; therefore, analysis is needed to confirm its presence and safety in accordance with BPOM Regulation No. 11 of 2019, which sets a maximum limit of 350 mg/kg. This study is an experimental research with a descriptive design. Qualitative analysis was carried out using a precipitation test to detect sodium cyclamate through the formation of a white precipitate. Samples showing positive results were then quantitatively analyzed using the UV-Vis spectrophotometry method. The precipitation test results showed that there was one sample, namely Sample B, that tested positive for containing sodium cyclamate. The sodium cyclamate level found in the sample was 448.0833 mg/kg, which exceeds the limit set by BPOM Regulation No. 11 of 2019 concerning Food Additives.
