Sucralose

Very concentrated synthetic sweetener, heat-resistant, zero calories, no glycemic effect.

Definition

A synthetic non-caloric sweetener, 600 times sweeter than sugar, created by chemically modifying sugar. Sucralose does not affect blood glucose levels and is very heat-stable.

How it works

Sucralose is a synthetic sweetener created in the 1970s by chemically modifying ordinary sugar. Unlike traditional sugar, sucralose cannot be digested by the body and is excreted almost unchanged. It offers a very close sweet taste to natural sugar, making it popular for various applications. Its exceptional heat stability makes it an excellent choice for cooking, baking, and hot beverages. Sucralose is approved by global health authorities and considered safe for consumption.

Role

Provide sweetness similar to natural sugar without calories and without glycemic impact.

Recommendations

Sucralose can be heated and used in baking without risk. Use it gradually to evaluate your personal tolerance. As with all sweeteners, maintain a balanced and reasonable consumption.

Key takeaway

Sucralose offers natural sweetness with excellent thermal resistance, ideal for cooking and hot beverages.
