Product Detail

Sucralose

Sucralose is a sucrose-derived sweetener produced from natural cane sugar through a scientifically controlled process. As a next-generation, zero-calorie sweetener, it is recognized as one of the most competitive non-caloric sweeteners available today.

Chemical Name:
1′,6′-Dichloro-1′,6′-dideoxy-β-D-fructofuranosyl-4-chloro-4-deoxy-α-D-galactofuranoside

Molecular Formula: C₁₂H₁₉O₈Cl₃

Structural Formula: 

Sucralose

Sucralose

Product Features

High sweetness with a clean taste. Sucralose is approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose, with a sweetness profile very similar to that of sugar.

Excellent stability and solubility. It demonstrates good processing stability, with strong resistance to heat as well as acidic and alkaline conditions.

Non-nutritive sweetener. As a non-caloric sweetener, sucralose is widely used as a sugar alternative in reduced-sugar and sugar-free formulations.

Well-established safety profile. Sucralose has an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) of 0–15 mg/kg body weight and has been approved for use in over 100 countries and regions worldwide.

Sweetener Comparison Table: Sucralose vs Stevia, Aspartame, Ace-K and Erythritol

Feature Sucralose Steviol Glycosides (Stevia / Reb M) Aspartame Acesulfame K (Ace-K) Erythritol
Source A synthetic sweetener made from sucrose Natural glycosides extracted from stevia; Reb M is a specific high-intensity component A dipeptide methyl ester synthesized from aspartic acid and phenylalanine A chemically synthesized potassium salt of an oxathiazinone heterocycle Naturally present in melons, mushrooms and other foods; mainly produced through microbial fermentation of glucose
Production Method Selective chlorination of sucrose Extracted from stevia, followed by enzymatic conversion or chromatographic separation to obtain high-purity Reb M Chemical synthesis Chemical synthesis Microbial fermentation
Relative Sweetness (Compared with Sucrose) 400–800 times 200–350 times 180–220 times 200 times 0.6–0.7 times
Sweetness-to-Price Ratio 0.1–0.3 1.5–4 0.1–0.25 0.05–0.15 5–12
Sweetness Profile Clean sweetness, very close to sucrose, with very little bitter aftertaste Clean sweetness with a fast onset and much less bitter aftertaste than ordinary steviol glycosides Clean sweetness close to sucrose, but with a metallic or bitter aftertaste Fast sweetness onset, but with an unpleasant bitter aftertaste Clean sweetness with an obvious cooling sensation
Caloric Value (Sucrose: 4 kcal/g) Approximately 0 kcal/g Approximately 0 kcal/g Approximately 4 kcal/g; actual contribution is negligible because the usage level is very low 0 kcal/g 0–0.2 kcal/g; almost not metabolized
Effect on Blood Glucose No effect No effect No effect No effect No effect
GI Value (Sucrose: 68) 0 0 0 0 0
Stability Extremely high; resistant to heat, acid and storage High; resistant to acid and heat Poor; decomposes and loses sweetness under high-temperature and acidic conditions High; resistant to heat and acid Extremely high and very stable
Water Solubility at 25°C 28.2 g/100 mL 0.1–2 g/100 mL 1 g/100 mL 27 g/100 mL 58.7 g/100 mL
Functional Characteristics Bulking-type, high-intensity sweetener and anti-caries ingredient High-intensity sweetener High-intensity sweetener High-intensity sweetener Provides a cooling sensation, volume and texture, with low hygroscopicity
ADI (Based on Body Weight) 15 mg/kg 4 mg/kg, calculated as steviol equivalents 40 mg/kg 15 mg/kg Single intake: <35 g
Main Applications Beverages, baked foods, dairy products, confectionery and pharmaceuticals Beverages, dairy products, confectionery and tabletop sweeteners Beverages, especially carbonated beverages, chewing gum and tabletop sweeteners Often blended with aspartame and other sweeteners; used in beverages, confectionery and jams Confectionery, beverages, tabletop sweeteners and baked foods
Flavor Synergy Good; enhances fruit aroma Good; blending with other sweeteners can optimize mouthfeel Good Excellent; often blended with other sweeteners to produce a synergistic effect Good; can suppress bitter aftertaste
Allergen No No No No No
Regulatory Approvals National Health Commission, FDA, EFSA, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, WHO, JECFA, Health Canada and others National Health Commission, EFSA, JECFA, FDA, Health Canada, Food Standards Australia New Zealand and others National Health Commission, FDA, EFSA, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Food Standards Australia New Zealand, Health Canada, JECFA and others National Health Commission, FDA, WHO, EFSA, JECFA, Food Standards Australia New Zealand, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and others National Health Commission, FDA, EFSA, WHO, JECFA and others
Number of Countries Where Used >100 >100 >100 >100 >60
Number of Existing Products Extremely large; one of the most widely used high-intensity sweeteners worldwide Rapidly increasing Extremely large, but decreasing because of health-related controversy Many; mainly used as a blending ingredient Many; a popular natural sugar substitute
Key Limitations and Considerations May affect the structure of certain foods at high temperatures High cost; the scope of regulatory approval varies by country Prohibited for patients with phenylketonuria and must be declared on the label Often needs to be blended with other sweeteners to mask its bitter aftertaste Excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort, but tolerance is better than with other sugar alcohols
Storage Conditions Room temperature and dry conditions Room temperature and dry conditions Cool, dry and protected from light Room temperature and dry conditions Room temperature and dry conditions; low hygroscopicity
