Sucralose
Description
Sucralose (CAS 56038-13-2), also marketed under the brand name Splenda and listed as E955 in the EU, is a high-intensity chlorinated sugar derivative used as a non-caloric sweetener in food, beverage, and personal care applications.
It delivers approximately 600 times the sweetness of sucrose with no caloric contribution, making it a preferred choice for sugar-reduced and diabetic-friendly product development in various industrial sectors.
In food and beverage manufacturing, this ingredient is used to replace sugar in low-calorie soft drinks, dairy products, baked goods, and confectionery where heat stability across processing temperatures is required.
Tabletop sweetener blends and single-serve sachets rely on this compound as the active sweetening agent, typically bulked with maltodextrin or dextrose to provide the necessary volume for consumer use.
Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators use it to mask bitterness in oral syrups, chewable tablets, and dietary supplements. In personal care, it functions as a flavoring and mild humectant in toothpastes and mouthwashes.
The product is supplied as a white crystalline powder in food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade specifications. Standard grades conform to FCC, USP, and Ph. Eur. monographs, with purity typically at 98% or above.
Bulk supply is available in kilogram and metric ton quantities, with packaging ranging from foil-lined bags to fiber drums. We ensure all shipments meet rigorous quality control standards for global distribution.
