Sucralose is a zero-calorie sugar substitute artificial sweetener. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E955. Sucralose is approximately 600 times as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), twice as sweet as saccharin, and 3.3 times as sweet as aspartame. Unlike aspartame, it is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions and can be used in baking or in products that require a longer shelf life. The commercial success of sucralose-based products stems from its favorable comparison to other low calorie sweeteners in terms of taste, stability, and safety.

Innovative sweetening ingredients can help reduce calorie content in foods, while meeting consumer taste expectations.
It has about 600 times the sweetness of sugar and, depending upon the application, can be used to replace nutritive sweeteners such as sugar or glucose syrup.
Sucralose is heat stable in cooking and baking and works well in a broad range of food and beverage systems including low-pH environments and in the presence of live cultures.
Food and beverages formulated with sucralose elicit a lower blood glucose response thansimilar products with sugar.
Unlike sucrose and glucose, sucralose has the added benefit of maintaining tooth mineralization and is non-cariogenic.
Sucralose is a high-strength sweetener with a molecular formula of C12H19Cl3O8. High stability, stable to light, heat and PH. It is very soluble in water, methanol and ethanol, and slightly soluble in ether.
