The Optimal Dosage of Sucralose

As people's health awareness increases, more and more people are pursuing a healthy lifestyle of "sugar control" and "sugar quitting". Sugar substitute foods, especially sugar substitute drinks, are favored by more and more people. Sugar substitutes refer to a large category of food additives that are sweet and highly sweet but have no or relatively low calories. Sweeteners include artificial (synthetic) sweeteners and natural sweeteners. Common artificial sweeteners include sucralose, aspartame, cyclamate, etc., and natural sweeteners include steviol glycosides, monk fruit sugar, etc. Artificial sweeteners can achieve high sweetness with less dosage, and their production costs are low, so they are very popular among food manufacturers.

Characteristics of Sucralose.

TGS also known as sucralose, is a new sweetener jointly developed by the British company Tate & Lyie and the University of London and patented in 1976. It is approved for use by China in 1997. In 1998, the FDA approved sucralose for use in the United States.

Sucralose is a high-intensity sweetener that can reach about 600 times the sweetness of sucrose. Sucralose has the characteristics of no energy, high sweetness, pure sweetness, and high safety. It is also one of the most ideal sweeteners currently and is a non-nutritive powerful sweetener. Sucralose's sweetness presentation speed, maximum sweetness intensity, sweetness duration and aftertaste are all very close to sucrose. Sucralose does not participate in metabolism in the human body, is not absorbed by the body, and has zero caloric value. It is an ideal sweet substitute for diabetics. Reviewed and certified by the FDA in 1998, it can be used as a general sweetener for all foods and does not affect the concentration of glucose in the blood, making it acceptable to diabetic patients. People with diabetes can eat sucralose in moderation, but should not eat too much, no more than 15 grams a day.

Sucralose is very stable, it is not affected by light and heat, nor is it affected by various pH conditions. In addition to its reliable stability, sucralose is popular for its taste and texture, and has no weird aftertaste. Sucralose is therefore ideal for baking and is also ideal for commercial foods requiring long-term shelf life.

Like the EU, sucralose is licensed in more than 80 countries, including the United States, Canada and Australia. In fact, sucralose has become increasingly popular compared to other commonly used artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, acesulfame potassium, and saccharin.

Applications of Sucralose.

1. Used in the production of high-temperature foods, such as baked pastry foods and candy foods;

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

3. Used in the production of low-sugar health foods, such as moon cakes and other foods with sugar fillings;

4. Take advantage of the good penetration properties of sucralose and use it in the production of canned fruits and candied foods.

5. In the production and processing of agricultural, livestock and aquatic products, the stability of sucralose is used as a condiment to make the salty, sour and other tastes of food softer.

6. Sucralose is also widely used in medicine and health products. At present, the use of sucralose in pharmaceutical products has been approved in many countries such as the United States, Europe, Japan, and India. It can increase the sweetness of the product and mask the bitter and unpleasant taste of the product.

If you like to drink drinks and milk tea, and are a sweet tooth that is difficult to control, you can choose sugar substitute drinks and sugar substitute foods in an appropriate amount to make the transition. Just taste it briefly. After satisfying your current demand for sweetness, you can slowly switch to sugar substitute foods. Replace sugar substitute drinks with plain water. All in all, there is no shortcut to truly controlling sugar and staying healthy. The most important thing is to develop healthy eating habits and lifestyle.
