|Section2= |Section3= }} Dulcin is an artificial sweetener about 250 times sweeter than sugar discovered in 1884 by Joseph Berlinerbau. It was first mass-produced about seven years later. Despite the fact that it was discovered only five years after saccharin, it never enjoyed the latter compound’s market success. Still, it was an important sweetener of the early 20th century and had an advantage over saccharin in that it did not possess a bitter aftertaste. Early medical tests marked the substance as safe for human consumption, and it was considered ideal for diabetics. However, an FDA study in 1951 raised many questions about its safety resulting in its removal from the market in 1954 after animal testing revealed unspecified carcinogenic properties. In Japan, poisoning accidents by dulcin occurred frequently, and use of dulcin was forbidden in 1969.〔(ズルチン標準品-Dulcin Standard ) (Japanese), Wako Pure Chemical Industries〕 Dulcin is also known by the names sucrol and valzin. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dulcin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
