Sucralose, a widely used sugar substitute, 600 times sweeter than sugar, is a newly developed artificial sweetener used in diet sodas and drinks. One of the most widely used is Sucralose Powder 955 or E955. Recognized for its intense sweetness and clean taste, it has become a cornerstone in many drinks.
In this blog, we will explore the properties, benefits, and applications of Surcalose 955.
Sucralose Powder 955 is a high-intensity, sugar-free, zero-calorie sweetener derived from sucrose through various chlorination processes. These processes replace three hydroxyl groups with chlorine atoms.
The result is a compound that is nearly 600 times sweeter than common sugar. Yet, it passes through the human body without being metabolized for energy. Thus, making it calorie-free.
Sucralose Powder 955 is a vital sweetening solution for manufacturers of diet sodas, drinks, and other low-calorie beverages. It is considered a healthier substitute for sugar without sacrificing flavor.
It is highly known for:
High sweetness potency
Easy use in liquid formulations
Outstanding stability under heat
Global recognition
Sucralose Powder 955 has a fine appearance, white to off-white crystalline powder. Its fine texture makes it easy to blend into liquid and powdery formulations without affecting the look or feel of the final formulation. It is also stable to light, heat, and pH. Its visual purity indicates high standards of manufacturing of the reputable suppliers.
Sucralose Powder 955 is highly soluble in water, methanol, and ethanol. This means it can mix effectively in hot and cold liquids. High solubility allows it to dissolve freely in beverages, diet sodas and functional drinks. However, it is slightly soluble in ethyl acetate.
Sucralose Powder 955 is 600 times sweeter than sucrose and table sugar. This means you can take a very small amount to replace large quantities of table sugar. This reduces cost and calorie content in beverages. It is 3 times sweeter than aspartame and 2 times sweeter than sodium saccharin.
It offers a sugar-like taste profile without aftertaste or off-notes of some no-calorie sweeteners. This is why companies use it in sports drinks, sodas, and other drinks.
Sucralose Powder 955, as produced by us at Sunway Group, has high purity levels exceeding 98%. This is in line with international requirements, making it safe, with a uniform flavor and stability in diverse uses.
The low-density nature enables it to be flexible in mixing with other bulking agents. It makes it easy to handle in manufacturing facilities, whether in powder form or blended with other mixtures.
The melting point of Sucralose 955 is around 125°C (257°F). Thus, it remains stable under heat at beverage processing conditions. As a result, it makes it suitable for pasteurization and carbonation processes.
One of the key benefits of Sucralose powder is that it is a zero-calorie sweetener. Unlike table sugar, which has traces of calories, sucralose powder is not broken down by the human body for energy. As a result, it is useful for the following:
Weight management programs, especially beneficial for those looking to cut calories from their diet.
Diabetes-friendly diets as sucralose has no direct blood sugar impact. No wonder it is a healthier alternative to regular sugar.
Fitness and lifestyle beverages in sport drinks to keep calorie counts low while enjoying sweetness.
This zero-calorie profile enables you to meet your business regulatory requirements for “diet” drinks, while delivering sweetness that your customers expect.
Sucralose powder 955 is 600 times sweeter than table sugar. Very small quantities are sufficient to attain high sweetness levels. This is cost-effective for your business as less ingredient volume is required.
It also results in label efficiency, as only small concentrations are required, thereby reducing formulation complexity. In turn, this results in product consistency.
For example, replacing 10% sugar in a 1-liter diet soda may mean replacing 100g of sugar with only 150-200mg of sucralose 955. It translates to effective savings in storage and raw material costs.
Unlike traditional sugar, sucralose powder 955 does not feed oral bacteria that cause tooth decay. Thus, it is non-cariogenic, that is, it does not contribute to cavities, decay, or enamel erosion. As a result, it is safe for children, dental-conscious adults (as is the case with older adults), and health-focused consumers.
It has high resistance to fermentation by Streptococcus mutans, responsible for plaque formation. This serves as added protection to the health benefits of everyone.
You can safely and confidently promote your product as ‘tooth-friendly’ or ‘dentist-approved’, especially in areas where oral health is a concern.
Unlike sugar, sucralose does not feed oral bacteria that cause tooth decay. It is non-cariogenic, that is, it does not lead to cavities or enamel erosion. This renders it a perfect sweetener in products sold to children, dental-sensitive adults and health-conscious consumers.
One of the outstanding benefits of this compound is its exceptional thermal stability during manufacturing and storage. This is unlike other sweeteners, such as aspartame, which break down at elevated temperatures leading to loss of sweetness during hot-fill bottling and carbonation.
It is also employed over a broad pH spectrum, which increases the shelf life of products. Consequently, it is commonly found in sodas, flavored water, juices, and energy drinks.
Sucralose powder 955 blends perfectly with other high-intensity sweeteners like stevia. TThis blend enhances the sweetness intensity, which conceals the off-notes and aftertastes. An example is coca-cola Zero Sugar, which contains a blend of sucralose and acesulfame-K to recreate the flavor of regular coke.
Many artificial sweeteners have low taste perception.They have off-notes, bitterness, or metallic aftertastes. Sucralose powder has a clean sweet profile that closely resembles sucrose. It has no lingering aftertastes or off-notes. It is compatible with other sweeteners to produce balanced flavors.
As a pioneer of the sugar-free beverage space, Coca-Cola is a common user of sucralose powder. With products like Coca-Cola Zero Sugar, Diet Coke, and other variants, they produce quality products that substitute drinks that rely on sucralose for their sweetening systems.
In particular, sucralose Powder 955 can be highly useful in such formulations since it is able to recreate the sweetness profile of sucrose without raising calories or affecting the levels of blood sugar.
In acidic environments, sucralose powder remains stable and retains its sweetness throughout shelf life. Sucralose is stable, effective, and consistent, unlike other artificial sweeteners, which may degrade during heating and low pH conditions. This ensures a consistent taste of the product from bottling to consumption.

In the beverage industry, sucralose powder is used in a broad spectrum. It is used in flavored waters to provide hydration without affecting the calorie count or interfering with added vitamins and minerals.
It is also used in sports and electrolyte drinks to give athletes a refreshing flavor without excess sugar. It is also applied in alcoholic beverages and mixers to maintain a low-calorie count while retaining sweetness.
Moreover, it has been applied in juices, fruit drinks, and plant-based protein drinks to lower sugar levels. Generally, the amount added is minimal. For example, for the production of 1000kg of beverage, only about 130 to 160g of sucralose powder is added.
If you take a look at the ingredient list in whey protein and protein shakes, you may find sucralose in them. This is not strange because sucralose powder masks bitter tastes commonly tasted in protein beverages.
It is also used in meal replacement drinks to add sweetness without adding calories. This aids in weight loss and managing macro intake.
In sport recovery drinks, it is used to spice up energy drinks by enhancing taste while remaining stable in complex formulas like electrolytes, amino acids, and vitamins.
Sucralose powder is used in yoghurt and other fermented products to reduce sugar content while maintaining a strong appeal. It retains the functional qualities of live cultures and maintains low pH stability, which secures the sweetness and prolongs the shelf life.
Yoghurt, kefir, and lactic acid drinks have a naturally tangy flavor that benefits from the added sweetness of sucralose powder.
Sucralose powder is widely used in Pepsi beverages and other Pepsi products like Diet Pepsi and Pepsi Zero Sugar. It uses sucralose powder because it delivers sweetness across different flavor profiles and processing conditions.
Brands that produce energy drinks, like Redbull, use sucralose powder for sweetness and quick energy. It does not contain any calories, but it preserves stability and prevents the degradation of taste in various procedures.
In sports nutrition supplements, it preserves the taste of sports drinks. Additionally, it masks the bitter taste produced by vitamins and other ingredients. However, it doesn’t affect their effectiveness.
Sucralose powder 955 is a versatile compound with a broad application. Aside from the one mentioned above, it is used in various niches to give you a large market share. Here are a few examples:
Energy waters and vitamin waters: The compound enhances hydration with subtle sweetness, without adding sugar. It also provides a balanced formula without masking added nutrients.
Electrolyte beverages: In need of strength and electrolyte replenishment? This compound improves taste while giving you replenished electrolytes.
Special health drinks: Kombucha, collagen drinks, and plant-based wellness drinks use the compound for added sweetness and low-calorie intake.
Infant drinks: Being tooth-friendly, it is used in infant drinks and for those who have a sweet tooth.
Some studies have shown that sucralose powder may alter gut bacteria, especially when taken in high doses. This can affect digestion and metabolism. However, these findings suggest that if taken within normal dietary exposure, you can mitigate this risk.
Research has shown that metabolic syndrome, obesity, and cardiovascular risk are directly correlated with excessive intake of sucralose powder. However, if taken within normal levels, it is safe.
When heated to very high temperatures for long periods of time, sucralose may break down into chlorinated byproducts. So, while it is stable under various processing conditions, it is not advised to heat it up for extended periods.
Sucralose is approved by global health authorities as a safe product to consume.
People avoid sucralose because of potential health concerns like gut health, immune problems, and cancer risk. However, moderate consumption of sucralose isn’t harmful.
Stevia is often considered better than sucralose, but it is natural and plant-based, while the latter is synthetic and formed in the lab. Nevertheless, they are both safe when consumed in moderation. The selection of the sweetener varies according to individual taste and nutritional objectives.
There are three: (1) pure sucralose, which is available in powder or granular form, (2) Splenda, and (3) liquid Sucralose.
The healthiest sweetener is based on your preferred choice and dietary goals. However, most people use Stevia to control blood sugar and to maintain weight.
No, sucralose has no direct significance on blood sugar because it is not broken down by the body.
The length of time it stays on the body depends on the individual. Since it is not absorbed into the body, much of it is excreted. In some cases, it can stay up to 18 hours.
Sucralose powder 955 is not like your regular artificial sweetener. Its attributes and benefits in diet sodas and drinks make it widely used in the beverage industry. If you’re looking for a reliable supplier of this and other organic products, don’t hesitate to contact us.
