Summary
Keamanan pangan pada suatu produk makanan sangat diperlukan dalam meningkatkan kualitas pangan. Pemanis buatan yang tidak sesuai syarat pemakaian dalam minuman jajanan menjadi salah satu masalah keamanan pangan. Penggunaan bahan kimia sebagai salah satu bahan tambahan pada makanan dan minuman saat ini sering ditemui. Bahan tambahan yang dikenal dengan zat adiktif pada makanan atau minuman dapat berupa pewarna, penyedap rasa dan aroma, pemantap, antioksidan, pengawet, pengemulsi, pemucat, pengental dan pemanis (3). Pemanis merupakan senyawa kimia yang sering ditambahkan dan digunakan untuk keperluan produk olahan pangan, industri serta minuman dan makanan kesehatan. Pemanis buatan (sintetis) merupakan zat yang dapat menimbulkan rasa manis tersebut, sementara kalori yang dihasilkan jauh lebih rendah daripada gula. Perkembangan industri minuman/makanan yang menggunakan pemanis buatan semakin berkembang pesat, mengingat bahan tambahan makanan/minuman mempunyai harga yang lebih murah dibandingkan dengan gula alami atau yang sering kita kenal sebagai gula tebu atau gula pasir sehingga dengan demikian akan memperbesar keuntungan pedagang (6). Indonesia penggunaan siklamat masih di izinkan, tetapi sebenarnya hasil metabolisme siklamat yaitu sikloheksamin merupakan senyawa karsinogen (5)
