Solution
Saccharin is an artificial sweetening agent. It is about 550 times as sweet as cane sugar, It is excreted from the body in urine unchanged, It appears to be entirely inert and harmless when taken. Its use is of great value to diabetic people who need to control the intake of calories.
On the other hand, saccharic acid is a dibasic acid obtained by the bacterial oxidation of glucose in the mouth or by conc. HNO3 in the laboratory
