Application of Sucralose in Food Processing

Sucralose is a white powdery product that is easily soluble in water, ethanol and methanol. Its sweetness is 600 times that of sucrose, and its sweetness is pure. It also has the characteristics of high safety and good stability. Sucralose is a non-nutritive powerful sweetener that is hardly absorbed in the human body. It is in line with the current development trend of sweeteners and is a high-intensity sweetener that has been recognized by many countries in the world.

Sucralose is a low-calorie sugar that is not easy to digest and absorb. It is suitable for use in the production of low-calorie foods. In addition, sucralose is non-corrosive to teeth. Therefore, sucralose will not produce tooth decay after consumption. It is a sweetener suitable for consumer health requirements for food production.

Applications of sucralose in food processing.

Sucralose has a mellow and rich taste, good stability and low calories, which is beneficial to consumers' health. As a sweetener, sucralose can be used in conjunction with traditional sweeteners or alone. Even foods produced using sucralose alone have an ideal sweet taste.

1. Application in beverage production.

Sucralose can be added and used in the production of many beverages. In the production of nutritional beverages and functional beverages, the use of sucralose can also mask the bitterness, astringency and other bad tastes produced by vitamins and various functional substances. Since sucralose itself has excellent stability and does not easily react with other substances, when used as a sweetener in beverage production, it will not affect the flavor, color, transparency, viscosity and other stability indicators of the beverage. When sucralose is added and used in the production of fermented milk and lactic acid bacteria beverages, it will not be decomposed by general lactic acid bacteria and yeast, and will not hinder the fermentation process. Therefore, it is very suitable for the production of fermented milk and lactic acid bacteria drinks.

Sucralose also has good stability in terms of heat sterilization and long-term storage. Therefore, when sucralose is used as a sweetener to produce beverages, it is easy to produce and use. Especially when coffee is heated by boiling or even steam, the use of sucralose as a sweetener can completely overcome the phenomenon of reduced sweetness and decreased sweetness and taste exhibited by such beverages at high temperatures. In addition, adding sucralose in the production of alcoholic beverages can play a unique role in easing the spicy taste of alcoholic beverages.

2. Application in other food production and processing.

According to the properties and characteristics of sucralose, as a sweetener, it has a wide range of applications in the field of food production and processing, which can be summarized as follows:

Used for the production of high-temperature processed foods, such as baked pastries, candies and other foods;

Used in the production of fermented foods, such as bread, yogurt and other foods;

Used for the production of low-sugar healthy foods, such as moon cakes and other foods with sugar fillings;

Sucralose has good penetrating properties and is used in the production of canned fruits and candied fruits;

In the production and processing of agricultural, livestock and aquatic products, sucralose has good stability and is used as a condiment to make the taste of salty, sour and other foods produced softer.

In short, sucralose, as a sweetening additive, has a wide range of applications and good application prospects in food production.

The caloric value and energy value of sucralose are almost zero. It does not participate in metabolism in the human body, is not absorbed, and does not cause blood sugar fluctuations. It is suitable for people with diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. It is a healthy sweetener. At present, sucralose has been approved for use in more than 120 countries and has been effectively used in more than 3,000 kinds of food around the world. It can also be used in medicine and health products.
