It has been developed jointly under an agreement between McNeil Specialty Products, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, and Tate & Lyle Speciality Sweeteners. RELATIVE SWEETNESS 600 times sweeter than sugar METABOLISM Sucralose does not break down in the body; it is non-caloric. BENEFITS Sucralose has a high quality of sweetness, good water solubility and excellent stability in a wide range of processed foods and beverages. When combined with other low-calorie sweeteners, it has a synergistic sweetening effect. Like sugar, sucralose will hydrolyse in solution, but only over an extended period of time under extreme conditions of acidity and temperature. Sucralose does not promote tooth decay. APPLICATIONS Sucralose can be used in a broad array of products, including: table-top sweeteners carbonated beverages non-carbonated beverages chewing gum baked goods dry-mix products processed fruit fruit spreads milk products frozen desserts salad dressings SAFETY Extensive studies have been conducted to support the safety of sucralose. The results of these studies demonstrate that it is safe for human consumption. STATUS In 1990, the Joint FAO/WHO1 Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) allocated an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) level of 0-15 mg per kilogramme of bodyweight. Sucralose is currently approved for use in foodstuffs in 24 countries around the world. In September 1991, the Canadian government permitted the use of sucralose. Approvals were also granted in Australia and Russia (in 1993) and in Mexico, Qatar (Middle East) and Romania. (1994). In April 1998 sucralose was approved for sale in the United States. Application for approval is pending in the European Union. ADI The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) for sucralose has been set at 0-15 mg per kilogramme of bodyweight (JECFA). 1 Food and Agriculture Organization/World Health Organization of the United Nations © 1998 International Sweeteners Association - June 1998 Next Previous
