Sucralose – E955
Sucralose, also known as E955 in the food industry, is a synthetic sweetener produced from Sucrose. It is produced by the chlorination of Sucrose. It is a sweetener that is almost completely broken down by the body, so it is calorie-free, although it tastes much sweeter than sucrose. It is easily soluble in water.

Technical aspects
Sucralose comes mainly in the form of an odorless white powder. Unlike other natural sweeteners such as stevia or Xylitol, Sucralose is completely calorie-free and about 600 times sweeter than regular sugar. In addition, it leaves no bitter aftertaste. It dissolves very well in water and is resistant to both low and high temperatures. The structure of Sucralose differs from that of Sucrose because the three hydroxyl groups have been converted into three chlorine atoms, which has a significant impact on the properties, effect and metabolism of this sweetener.
