Sucralose is a high-intensity, zero-calorie artificial sweetener derived from sucrose through selective chlorination. It is approximately 600 times sweeter than sugar, making it an effective sugar substitute in a wide range of food and beverage applications. Sucralose is stable under heat and across a broad pH range, suitable for cooking, baking, and long shelf-life products. It delivers sweetness without calories or glycemic impact, favored in health-conscious and diabetic-friendly formulations.
