Liquid vs powdered saccharine concentration

May 10, 2023 7:06 AM

I recently purchased an 8 oz. bottle of liquid saccharine (Sweet N Low brand). I was surprised by how... diluted it seemed. How many drops do you find to be equivalent to two (pink) packets of the powdered version?

Best answer: sweet n low locator, has a section for the liquid form, with two useful charts.

The conversion chart says, 1/4 cup sugar = 6 packets = 1.5 tsp of liquid.

The nutrition info for the liquid mentions serving size 10 drops (0.6 ml).

Doing some math, 1.5tsp = 7.4ml/6 packets = 1.2 ml per packet equivalent = 20 drops for 1.2ml.

The packets claim 1 is a serving which doesnt match to how the conversion chart math works to the liquid and the liquid serving size weirdly.
