Description
Sucralose Product Overview
Sucralose (C12H19Cl3O8) is a white to off-white crystalline powder that dissolves freely in water. Producers make it from sucrose by replacing three hydroxyl groups with chlorine atoms. The body does not use it for energy, so it adds practically no calories. In the EU, it carries the E number E955.
It has a clean, sugar-like taste with little bitterness. It also stays stable during baking, pasteurization and long storage in acidic drinks. Because only very small amounts are needed, formulators often combine it with Acesulfame for a faster sweetness onset, or with bulk sweeteners such as Xylitol when texture matters.
Typical applications include soft drinks, flavored waters, dairy products, sauces, bakery and tabletop sweeteners. Pharmaceutical companies also use it to mask bitterness in syrups, chewable tablets and oral powders.
