健康的な砂糖の摂り方：スクラロースの利点を探る
Raw materials for sucralose production： Sucralose is an artificial sweetener derived from natural sucrose. Sucralose is formed by chlorination modification of the sucrose molecule, replacing the three hydroxyl groups in the molecular structure with chlorine atoms. This structural modification gives it a high degree of stability and a sweetness that far exceeds that of sucrose, while at the same time not being metabolized by the human body, thus realizing its “zero-calorie” properties. This process not only retains the natural sweetness of sucrose, but also avoids calorie intake, which is the core reason why it has become a healthy sugar substitute. Wide range of applications of sucralose： Due to its excellent […]
