The physicochemical properties of the high intensity sweetener, sucralose, (1,6-dichloro-1,6-dideoxy+D-fructofuranosyl 4-chloro-4-deoxy-cY-D-galactopyranoside) were determined. A high solubility in water (2&3g/lOO mL at 20°C) in combination with Newtonian viscosity characteristics, a negligible lowering of surface tension, and no pH effects demonstrated that sucralose was particularly suitable for use in liquid products. The refractive index of aqueous solutions was linear with respect to concentration confirming the usefulness of this technique for determining solution concentrations. A low octanol-water partition coefficient confirmed that sucralose was poorly soluble in lipids and was, therefore, likely to behave in a similar fashion to sugar in multiphase systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
