Title: 10Kg
Discovered in 1976 by Leslie Hough at Tate & Lyle, a British sugar company.
Hough accidentally tasted sucralose while testing another substance, mistaking instructions.  Sucralose was developed jointly by Tate & Lyle and Johnson & Johnson.

Made from sucrose (table sugar) through a multi-step chemical process.  Three hydroxyl groups in sucrose are replaced with chlorine atoms.  This process makes sucralose 600 times sweeter than sugar.

Sucralose is a non-nutritive sweetener, meaning it contains no calories.

Use in Beverages:
  • Sucralose is widely used in beverages as a sugar substitute.
It is found in various drinks, including:
  • Ready to Drink Cocktails or RTDs
  • Premixed Spirits
  • Soda
  • Juice
  • Tea
  • Coffee
  • Sports drinks
  • Energy drinks
  • Sucralose is often used in combination with other sweeteners, such as aspartame and stevia.
This creates a more complex flavour profile and can help mask the bitter aftertaste of some artificial sweeteners.

How Sucralose Sweetens Beverages:
Sucralose binds to taste receptors on the tongue, triggering a sweet taste sensation.
Unlike sugar, sucralose is not metabolised by the body and does not contribute to calories.
It is excreted in the urine and faeces unchanged.

Safety and Regulations:
Sucralose is generally considered safe for consumption by the FDA and other regulatory agencies.  The acceptable daily intake (ADI) for sucralose is 1.5 mg/kg body weight.
However, there is some ongoing research about the potential health effects of sucralose, including its impact on gut bacteria and blood sugar levels.

Additional Information:
Sucralose is heat-stable, making it suitable for use in hot beverages.
It is also soluble in water, making it easy to add to beverages.
Sucralose has a long shelf life and does not degrade over time.
