Introduction To Sucralose

Sucralose, commonly known as sucralose, is a high-powered sweetener with the molecular formula of C₁₂H₁₉Cl₃O₈. High stability, stable to light, heat and pH. Very soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, slightly soluble in ether. The pH of 10% aqueous solution is 5~8.  A new sweetener developed and patented by Tate&Lyle and the University of London in 1976 and put into the market in 1988 is the only functional sweetener with sucrose as raw material. The original trademark name is Splenda, which can reach about 600 times (400~800 times) the sweetness of sucrose. Sucralose is characterized by no energy, high sweetness, pure sweetness, high safety, and is also one of the most ideal sweeteners.
