| Summary: | Food additives are ingredients that added to food to affect the nature or form of food. One of the food additives is sweetener. Synthetic sweetener that commonly used in food and beverage industry is cyclamate. Cyclamate excessive consumption will cause tumors and cancer. The Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) established that the maximum levels of cyclamate that could be consumed by the body is 500 – 3000 mg/kg body weight. Therefore, this study aims to determine levels of cyclamate in red syrup that sold in Banjarmasin Utara. Identification of cyclamate used precipitation method with HCl 10%, BaCl2 10% and NaNO2 10% as reagents, and determination of cyclamate levels performed by gravimetric method. The results showed that 6 samples from 15 samples of red syrup which sold in Banjarmasin Utara contained cyclamate sweetener. Cyclamate contents were found in positive samples examined by gravimetric method and the results respectively were 46,21 mg/kg; 71,26 mg/kg; 97,86 mg/kg; 74,82 mg/kg; 84,46 mg/kg; and 105,24 mg/kg body weight. The results did not exceess the threshold if compare to the maximum levels that set by CAC, that were 500 – 3000 mg/kg body weight. |
