What is sucralose?

Sucralose is a no-calorie sweetener that contributes sweetness to foods and beverages without adding calories or carbohydrates. It is made from a process that begins with regular table sugar (sucrose); however, sucralose is not sugar. Three select hydrogenoxygen groups on a sucrose molecule are replaced with three chlorine atoms, resulting in a no-calorie sweetener that is about 600 times sweeter than sugar. Although sucralose provides sweetness, its structure prevents enzymes in the digestive tract from breaking it down. Most consumed sucralose (about 85 percent) is not absorbed. Of the small amount absorbed (about 15 percent), none is broken down for energy, so sucralose does not provide any calories. All absorbed sucralose is excreted quickly in the urine (Roberts 2000, Magnuson 2016).

Sucralose is the no-calorie sweetener in regular SPLENDA® retail sweeteners and it is also used in other retail sweeteners, such as those sold under store brand names. Sucralose is found in beverages and foods like chewing gum, dairy products, canned fruits, syrups and condiments. Because it is stable at high temperatures, sucralose can be used in baked goods. However, a food containing sucralose may be slightly different than the same food made with sugar, because sugar also plays a role in the structure, texture and flavor of foods. Like all no and low-calorie sweeteners, only very small amounts of sucralose are needed to achieve the sweetness of sugar. To make measuring and pouring easier, low-calorie sweeteners like sucralose are typically blended with approved food ingredients. This is why a packet of sucralose sweetener seems equal in quantity to a packet of table sugar, for example
