Product Introduction
Sucralose is a chlorinated derivative of sucrose, created through a multi-step process involving the selective chlorination of sugar. It is about 600 times sweeter than sucrose, making it an ideal choice for those seeking to reduce caloric intake without sacrificing sweetness. Sucralose is not metabolized by the body, and it provides a sweet taste without contributing to blood glucose levels, making it popular among individuals managing weight or diabetes.
Product Manufacturing Process
The manufacturing process of sucralose involves several chemical transformations. Initially, sucrose is treated with chlorine in a controlled environment. This chlorination modifies the sugar structure, replacing three hydroxyl groups with chlorine atoms. The resulting compound undergoes purification steps, which may include crystallization and filtration, ensuring the final product is of high purity and quality before packaging.
Product Applications
Sucralose is versatile and finds application in various food and beverage sectors. Its high sweetness potency allows for minimal usage, making it beneficial in products aimed at low-calorie diets. It is commonly used in soft drinks, sauces, baked goods, and dairy products. Sucralose is also suitable for cooking and baking, as it is heat-stable, maintaining its sweetness even when exposed to high temperatures.
Packaging and Storage
Storage Conditions: To ensure longevity, sucralose should be stored in a sealed, lightproof container, away from high temperatures, in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area.
Packaging Method: Sucralose is typically packaged in bulk (25kg cardboard drums) for commercial use, while smaller samples can be found in 1kg aluminum foil bags. Custom packaging options are available upon request.
Shipping Method: Shipping methods include FedEx, DHL, dedicated logistics, and sea freight consolidation, ensuring timely and safe delivery of the product.
Shelf Life: Sucralose has a shelf life of 2 years when stored under appropriate conditions, retaining its quality and efficacy.
