Sucralose is a zero calorie sugar substitute artificial sweetener. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E**5. Sucralose is approximately **0 times as sweet as sucrose (table sugar),twice as sweet as saccharin, and 3.3 times as sweet as aspartame. Unlike aspartame, it is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions and can be used in baking or in products that require a longer shelf life. The commercial success of sucralose based products stems from its favorable comparison to other low calorie sweeteners in terms of taste, stability, and safety.Sucralose is normally added to foods in very small quantities. Bulked up products designed for domestic use with a similar appearance to granular sugar are sold under the names Splenda and SucraPlus.
