Approximately 600 Times Sweeter than Sugar
Sucralose is a zero-calorie, non-sugar sweetening agent. While it is derived from natural sucrose (common sugar), the process involves significant modifications that categorise sucralose powder as an artificial substance. It is an ideal sugar substitute for those seeking to reduce their caloric intake and remains a popular choice for low-carb diets.
Heat-stable, sucralose suits perfect for cooking and baking, while its sugar-like taste enhances the flavour of many recipes. With a minimal to almost nonexistent aftertaste compared to other intense sweeteners, like stevia extract or aspartame, sucralose is often blended with bulking agents such as erythritol or maltodextrin, to achieve a 1:1 ratio matching the sweetness amount and volume of ordinary sugar.
With an ultra-high level of sweetness, about 600 times sweeter than sugar, sucralose is used in tiny amounts to achieve the desired sweetness in food and beverages. As an example, in a 330ml can of a zero-calorie soft drink, only 0.07g of sucralose is needed, in contrast to the regular version that typically contains around 40g of sugar! It is perfect for sweetening shakes, drinks desserts and bakes without the calorie overload.
