Sucralose

Rare card · No. 56267

Sucralose is an artificial sweetener and sugar substitute. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number E955. It is produced by chlorination of sucrose, selectively replacing three of the hydroxy groups. Sucralose is about 600 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), three times as sweet as both aspartame and acesulfame potassium, and twice as sweet as sodium saccharin. The commercial success of sucralose-based products stems from its favorable comparison to other low-calorie sweeteners in terms of taste, stability, and safety.
