Sucralose
CAS Number: 56038-13-2
Sucralose (E955) is a chlorinated sucrose derivative approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose, offering a clean, sugar-like taste with no bitter or metallic aftertaste. It is non-caloric, non-glycemic, heat-stable up to 120°C in most food matrices, and pH-stable across 3–7. Its sucrose-like taste profile makes it the preferred sweetener in premium sugar-free products, soft drinks, dairy, and bakery.
