What is Sucralose?
Sucralose is marketed as Splenda, an artificial sweetener. The difference between Splenda and other sweeteners, like aspartame (Equal) and saccharin (Sweet'N Low), is that it's actually made from real sugar. This gives it a taste that is generally more preferable compared to other artificial sweeteners.
Sucralose is chemically changed so that it's 600 times sweeter than real sugar with almost no calories. It doesn't leave an aftertaste in your mouth, so sucralose is used in foods like yogurt, candy, ice cream, and soda.
In addition to being changed for taste, sucralose is also altered so that most of it passes through your body instead of being stored to later use as energy. To make sucralose almost calorie-free, some naturally occurring parts of the sugar molecule, called hydroxyl, are swapped out for chlorine.
Here are the comparisons of several sweeteners.
Product | Sweetness | After-taste | Safety | Heat Stability | Expiration Date |
Sucralose | 600X | None | Good | Good | Long |
Aspartame | 200X | None | Good | Bad | Short |
Saccharin | 500X | Bitter | Bad | Good | Long |
Acesulfame | 200X | Metallic taste | so so | Good | Long |
Sodium Cyclamate | 40X | Metallic taste | so so | Good | Long |
Application:
Sucralose is found in many foods and beverage products, because it is a no-calorie sweetener, does not cause dental cavities, is as safe for consumption by diabetics as nondiabetics, and does not affect levels.
