Sucralose is a non-caloric, high-intensity sweetener that is 600 times sweeter than sucrose. Sucralose retains its sweetness over a wide range of temperature and storage conditions in variety of applications. Because of its extended shelf stability, food manufacturers use sucralose to create great-tasting new foods and beverages in categories such as canned fruit, low-calorie fruit drinks, baked goods and sauces and syrups. Sucralose also can be used as a sweetener in nutritional supplements, medical foods, and vitamin and mineral supplements.
