Sucralose

Sucralose, known as 4,1 ', 6' - trichloro-4,1 ', 6' - trideoxygalactose, is a white powdered product, which is easily soluble in water, ethanol and methanol. Its sweetness is 600 times as much as that of sucrose, and its sweet taste is pure. At the same time, it has the characteristics of high security and good stability.

Sucralose is a non nutritive strong sweetener, which is hardly absorbed in human body. It is in line with the development trend of sweeteners. It is a kind of high sweetness sweetener recognized by many countries including China.

The main physical and chemical properties of sucralose are that sucralose is easily soluble in water, and its water solubility can reach more than 25% at room temperature. When sucralose is dissolved in water, it is not easy to produce foaming phenomenon and easy to dilute. Sucralose also has good solubility in alcohol, so it can be used in the production of alcoholic beverages. The biggest advantage of sucralose is that it has the alcohol and taste similar to that of granulated sugar, and the strong sweetness. At the same time, it has the stability in a wide range of pH values from acid to neutral, as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. Sucralose, as a sweetener in food processing, can not only give good sweetness to food, but also will not cause relevant changes in food. It can be said that sucralose is an unprecedented ideal sweetener.

Sucralose is a kind of low calorie, not easy to digest and absorb sugar, suitable for use in low calorie food production. In addition, sucralose is not corrosive to teeth. Therefore, sucralose is a kind of sweetener suitable for consumers' health requirements.

The characteristics of sucralose are as follows

• The sweetness is 600 times higher than that of sucrose;
• The only sweetener with sucrose as raw material has pure taste;
• High stability, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, long shelf life;
• The safety is high, ADI value is 15 mg / kg;
• No calories, not involved in metabolism, not absorbed, suitable for diabetics, obese patients, cardiovascular disease patients.
