Sucralose: Is a food additive initially used

Sucralose is a food additive initially used to mitigate glycemic peaks and calorie intake in patients with diabetes and obesity. Although sucralose has been considered safe for human consumption, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a global ... Sucralose , also known as sucralose , is a non-caloric, high-intensity sweetener made from sucrose. It is a white powder, odorless, non-hygroscopic, highly thermally stable, easily soluble in water, and soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol. Figure 1 Characteristics of Sucralose The solubility is 28.2g at room temperature of 28°C, and it has high stability under light environment, heat environment and pH value changes. The sweetness of sucralose is 600~800 times that of ... Sucralose , a zero-calorie sweetener, enhances flavor without added calories. Long-term use may increase the risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Researchers at Queen Elizabeth College, University of London, discovered sucralose in 1976, during a collaborative research program with UK sugar producer, Tate & Lyle, PLC. Sucralose is made by a multi-step process that starts with ordinary table sugar (sucrose) and replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. This results in a stable sweetener that tastes like sugar, but is calorie-free. After being discovered, sucralose was put through a ...
