Sucralose
Description:
Sucralose is the only non-calorie sweetener made from sugar. Sucralose is white to off white, crystalline powder. It is freely soluble in water, methanol, and alcohol. It is slightly soluble in ethyl acetate. It functions as a nonnutritive sweetener. Our Sucralose has a clean, sweet taste that is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar.
The safety profile of sucralose
Safety studies show that sucralose is a safe and essentially inert ingredient. Conclusions from the studies include the following:
*No known side effects
*Not toxic: No adverse effects seen in test animals, even in amounts equivalent in sweetness to *40+ pounds of sugar per day for life
*No effect on carbohydrate metabolism
*No effect on short- or longterm blood glucose control or on serum insulin levels: Sucralose is suitable for people with diabetes
*No calories or carbohydrates: Sucralose is not recognized by the body as a carbohydrate and is not metabolized or otherwise broken down for energy
