Sucralose

Description

$30-65

When purchasing sucralose in bulk for your factory, consider the following factors:

1. Quality and safety: Ensure that sucralose meets the necessary quality and safety standards, as it is considered safe by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). However, be aware of conflicting research on its safety
2. Sweetness level: Sucralose is 450-650 times sweeter than sucrose, so only small amounts are needed to achieve the desired sweetness. Keep this in mind when determining the quantity to purchase.
3. Storage conditions: Store sucralose in a cool, dry, and odor-free environment to prevent moisture absorption, mold growth, and spoilage

Overview of Sucralose

1. Chemical Properties: Sucralose, chemically known as 2,3,4,6-tetramethyl-β-D-glucopyranose trichloride sodium, has the molecular formula C12H19Cl3O8 and a molecular weight of 397.64[1]. It is a crystalline molecular solid with irregularly shaped crystals, colorless, odorless, and often appears as a white powder.

2. Physical Properties: Sucralose has relatively low solubility, which increases with temperature, and can dissolve in boiling water[2]. It is stable in acidic environments and can achieve sweetness through saccharification, making it widely used in the food manufacturing industry[3].

3. Mechanism of Action: As a chlorinated sugar, sucralose has unique antimicrobial preservation, emulsion stabilization, and sweetness-enhancing properties[4]. It can inhibit the growth of certain bacteria by altering the water activity in food, thus achieving a preservation effect. Additionally, it can form emulsion systems with other ingredients, making emulsified foods more stable and enhancing their taste. Lastly, it can increase the sweetness of food with less harm to the human body compared to other sweeteners, making it a popular choice in the market[3].

Functions of Sucralose in Food Processing

Sucralose is a widely used food additive that can improve the taste, maintain freshness, and increase the sweetness of food products[3]. It is extensively applied in various fields, such as dairy products, candies, seasonings, and sauces. However, during its use, some methods and precautions should be considered to avoid unnecessary food safety issues. This article will introduce the basic overview of sucralose, its functions in food processing, precautions for use, and application examples.

Precautions for Using Sucralose in Food Processing

Refer to the previous answer for precautions on using sucralose in food processing.

Application Examples of Sucralose

Sucralose is used as a replacement for, or in combination with, other artificial or natural sweeteners such as aspartame, acesulfame potassium, or high-fructose corn syrup[3]. It can be found in products like candy, breakfast bars, and soft drinks, as well as canned fruits where water and sucralose replace higher-calorie corn syrup-based additives[3]. Its heat stability allows it to be used in many recipes with little or no loss of sweetness, making it suitable for baking and products requiring a longer shelf life[3].

Functions of Sucralose in Food Processing

1. Antimicrobial Preservation: Sucralose plays a crucial role in food processing as an antimicrobial preservative. It inhibits the growth of certain microorganisms, extending the shelf life of food products and reducing the likelihood of spoilage[1]. This property is widely used in perishable foods such as meat and dairy products, helping to prolong their shelf life.

2. Emulsion Stabilization: Sucralose can also be used as an emulsifying agent. It binds with components like fats and water to form emulsified liquid systems, stabilizing emulsified foods[2]. For example, ice cream, cream, and milk fat can use sucralose as a stabilizer to enhance their taste and texture.

3. Flavor Enhancement: Sucralose can be used in food processing to enhance flavor. It increases the umami and sweetness of foods such as candies, chocolates, and beverages, which require sweeteners to improve their flavor quality[3]. Unlike other sweeteners, sucralose does not produce bitterness or other adverse reactions during use.

4. Sweetness Increase: Sucralose can be used to increase the sweetness of food products. As a herbal plant extract, it is considered a natural food additive with high safety[3]. Although its sweetness is lower than other artificial sweeteners, sucralose’s advantage lies in achieving the desired sweetness level in smaller quantities,
