Uses:

Food additive, the latest sweetener, sweetness is 600 times that of sucrose.

Currently, sucralose is widely used in beverages, chewing gum, bread, pastries, preserves, jellies, puddings, jams, and other foods. Its application in the pharmaceutical field is also rapidly expanding. The maximum usage is 0.25g/kg. In countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, it has replaced sucrose and other sweeteners in various foods.

◆ High sweetness, pure sweet taste. Its sweetness is about 600 times that of sucrose, 3 times that of aspartame, and the taste is pure, very similar to sucrose.

◆ Absolute safety, no concerns regarding toxicology, ADI value is 15mg/kg.

◆ Stable properties, sucralose has excellent solubility and stability . Its crystalline product can be stored for 4 years under dry conditions at 20°C. In aqueous solutions and beverages (pH value of 3 to 5) and at normal temperatures, it can be stored for more than 1 year without any changes. Sucralose has no chemically active groups, making it very unlikely to react with other food components, so it can be used in any food ingredient system and processing.

◆ In terms of health, since it has zero calories, it does not cause obesity and can be consumed by obese patients, cardiovascular patients, the elderly, and those who wish to control weight; it does not cause blood sugar fluctuations after intake and can be consumed by diabetics; it is not metabolized by oral microorganisms nor enzymatically decomposed, so it does not cause tooth decay and is very beneficial to dental health.
