In recent years, the world has developed non-nutritive sweeteners with better quality and higher safety, and sucralose is one of the representative varieties. Sucralose is the most perfect and competitive sweetener among artificial sweeteners, which has excellent properties such as high sweetness, good flavor, non-nutrition, long shelf life, low calorific value and high safety.
Sucralose, which is chlorinated from the 4-, 1′- and 6′-hydroxyl groups of sucrose, was developed by Professor Leslie Hough and Tate & Lyle at the University of London in United Kingdom in 1976 and put on the market in 1988.
Sucralose,a substituted disaccharide with the chemical name of 4,1′,6′-trichloro-4,1′,6′-trideoxygalactose, is a powerful food sweetener with the trade name Splenda, abbreviated as TGS.
Sucralose is easily soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol, while other artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, saccharin, and alitame-K are slightly soluble in methanol or ethanol, which means that sucralose can be used in both aqueous foods and beverages and alcoholic beverages. The surface tension of the sucralose solution is small, so the addition of sucralose to carbonated beverages does not form excessive foam. As a powerful sweetener, its unit mass sweetness is 600~800 times that of sucrose.
The pH value of sucralose was placed at 3, 5, 7 and 100 °C for 1h, and the sucralose content was still as high as 98%, and there was basically no degradation and reaction of sucralose under heating conditions. Studies have shown that sucralose is not bioaccumulative, and most of the sucralose (close to 85%, and the other 15% is still unknown) is not absorbed by the human body and is excreted in the form of feces, so sucralose is basically biologically inert in the human body.
In addition, sucralose is not used by caries bacteria, so there is no potential risk of tooth decay. The safety of sucralose has been recognized by public health organizations around the world. However, absolute safety is not guaranteed, as sucralose has been found to be potentially damaging to DNA and produces chloropropanol, a potentially toxic compound, during the baking process.
Advantages of sucralose
Sucralose is the closest to the taste of sucrose, which shows that the advent of sucralose represents the crowning achievement of high-sweetness sweeteners.
In some food production applications, aspartame tastes good, but it is easy to decompose and unstable; The safety of cyclamate and saccharin has been controversial to a certain extent, and it is easy to produce bitterness. The so-called “protein sugar” has different components, poor safety, and the use of saccharin and cyclamate is easy to cause excessive saccharin; Sugar alcohol sweeteners have low sweetness, high cost of use, and dissolution and heat absorption are greater than sucrose, although they are easy to produce a cooling feeling, but the taste is different from the sweet maturity of sucrose. The sweetness of sucralose is very close to sucrose, which is very stable to heat, acid and alkali, and has high safety.
The excellent quality of sucralose can represent the highest level of sweetener development at present, and its application in food is becoming more and more extensive. Sucralose, as a new generation of high-sweetness sweetener, will have a broad application prospect due to its excellent performance characteristics, replacing sucrose in a variety of foods in United States, Canada and other countries.
Application in Sucralose
It is used in the production of high-temperature foods, such as baked pastry foods and confectionery foods;
It is used in the production of fermented foods, such as bread, yogurt and other foods;
It is used in the production of low-sugar health foods, such as moon cakes and other sugar-filled foods;
It is used in the production of canned fruits and candied fruits;
In the production and processing of agricultural, livestock and aquatic products, the stable performance of sucralose is used as a condiment to make the salty and sour taste of food softer.
