Sucralose (E955) High-Intensity Sweetener

Key characteristics

• Intense sweetness: approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose, allowing very low dosage levels.
• Clean taste profile: sugar-like sweetness with minimal bitterness compared to many other high-intensity sweeteners.
• High stability: excellent stability in dry form and good stability in most beverage and dairy systems.
• Broad pH tolerance: suitable for soft drinks, juices and other acidic products.
• Synergistic in blends: often combined with acesulfame K, aspartame or polyols to optimise flavour and cost-in-use.

Typical specifications (indicative)

Detailed specifications can be adapted to your internal standards and target markets. Typical commercial grades include:

• Assay: sucralose content complying with major pharmacopeia / food additive monographs.
• Appearance: white to off-white, crystalline powder or granular.
• Solubility: freely soluble in water; suitable for syrups and concentrates.
• Mesh size options tailored for beverage premixes, tablets or tabletop sweeteners.
• Microbiological and impurity limits aligned with food and beverage use.

Atlas will align final specifications, COA parameters and analytical methods with your quality requirements and documentation format.

Beverages & liquid applications

• Carbonated soft drinks, energy drinks and flavoured waters where clear, stable sweetness is essential.
• Juice drinks and nectars to partially replace sugar and manage calorie content.
• Liquid concentrates and syrups for fountain systems or home dilution.
• Ready-to-drink teas and coffees where sucralose provides a clean profile at low dosage.

Dairy & plant-based products

• Flavoured milk and drinking yogurts aiming for reduced sugar content.
• UHT beverages where heat stability is important.
• Plant-based drinks (soy, oat, almond) to enhance flavour without increasing calories.

Bakery, confectionery & tabletop

• Tabletop sweeteners (powders, tablets, sachets) often in combination with polyols.
• Sugar-reduced baked goods where sucralose provides sweetness while bulk is supplied by maltodextrin or polyols.
• Chewing gum and confectionery as part of multi-sweetener systems.

Formulation considerations

• Develop with sweetener blends (e.g. sucralose + acesulfame K or sucralose + polyols) to improve overall taste.
• Adjust acidulant system in beverages to support desired flavour profile and shelf life.
• Coordinate with bulking agents (erythritol, maltodextrin, polydextrose) where physical bulk is needed.

Quality & regulatory support

• Produced in line with food additive regulations for E955 in major markets where permitted.
• Detailed specification and COA supplied for every batch.
• Support with documentation on GMO status, allergens, residual solvents, heavy metals and other parameters.
• Halal / Kosher and other certificates can be provided where available from the manufacturer.
• Customer remains responsible for final regulatory approval, label declaration and claims; Atlas provides transparent technical data.

Packaging, storage & logistics

• Typical packaging: multi-layer 25 kg bags, fibre drums or cartons, depending on producer.
• Alternative pack sizes or customised palletisation can be discussed for specific projects.
• Store in cool, dry conditions, away from direct sunlight and strong odours.
• Atlas supports FOB, CFR, CIF or other Incoterms depending on destination and shipment size.
