Sucralose is a high-intensity sweetener derived from sucrose through a chemical modification process. It is approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar), although the perceived sweetness depends on the food formulation and testing conditions.
Also known as E955 in the European food additive numbering system, sucralose is commonly used in small quantities to achieve the desired sweetness in food and beverage formulations.
