Sucralose is approximately 600 times as [|sweet] as [|sucrose] (table sugar),[|[4]] twice as sweet as [|saccharin], and 3 times as sweet as [|aspartame]. It is stable under heat and over a broad range of [|pH] conditions. Therefore, it can be used in baking or in products that require a longer shelf life. The commercial success of sucralose-based products stems from its favorable comparison to other low-calorie sweeteners in terms of taste, stability, and safety.[|[5]] Common brand names of sucralose-based sweeteners are [|Splenda], Sukrana, SucraPlus, Candys, Cukren and Nevella.
