Splenda Granulated sweetener with Sucralose

Splenda® sweetness derives from the chemical name sucralose, which contains no sweetener calorie, 600 times sweeter than sugar, which can be used as a part of a healthy and balanced diet that helps to reduce the amount of sugars and carbohydrates absorbed.

Sucralose was discovered in 1976. In the Tate & Lyle labs at Queen Elizabeth College and in the same year the process is being patented. As a result of this process, sugar (sucrose) is processed into a calorie-free and almost non-carbohydrate sweetener. One Splenda® tablet (equivalent to 1 teaspoon of sugar) contains less carbohydrate than any other commercially available sweetener (less than 0.5 grams) and is the amount needed to give the product the desired volume and form of the tablet.

In addition, Splenda® is resistant to high temperatures (up to 220 ° C), meaning that its chemical structure is not modified during high-temperature cooking - so Splenda® is the right product for eg baking (as opposed to to aspartame).
