Ideal Solubility and Taste Masking with Sucralose
Because it is 600 times sweeter than sugar, has no calories, won’t cause caries, and is synergistic with fructose and corn syrups, sucralose may be used in syrups, throat lozenges or chewable tablets. One particularly important application is in orally disintegrating tablets (ODT products) where good taste is a key factor for market success. Sucralose is also suitable for children, pregnant women and people with diabetes or glucose intolerance who require a sugar substitute. As an inert compound, it does not interact with other ingredients and avoids Maillard reactions.
