Sucralose

Sucralose is a high-intensity artificial sweetener derived from sugar. It offers a clean, intensely sweet flavor profile without the calories, making it a popular sugar substitute for those managing their weight or blood sugar levels. In appearance, sucralose is a white, crystalline powder, and it is often found in a diluted form for easier measurement and use in baking, beverages, and various food products.
