    who like sweet and don't want to eat sugar must have eaten sucralose. Like other sweeteners, its findings are the result of mistakes made by researchers - mistakes in scientific research can have fatal consequences and lead to great discoveries. The discovery of sucralose stems from a very chic mistake.the
    1970s, Thales collaborated with a scholar at Queen Elizabeth College in England to study the use of sucrose as a pesticide after molecular modification. One experiment was to replace three hydrogen-oxygen groups of sucrose with three chlorine atoms. The scholar asked his students to test the sample. The "test" in
    English
    the same pronunciation as
    taste
    . His Indian student was a little surprised to hear his tutor's request, but didn't ask much, so he used his tongue to
    "
    " sample. It turned out that the thing was so sweet that it was a mess.this thing is sucralose, also known as sucrose, which is about
    600
    times sweeter than sucrose. As long as a little bit, it's sweet. Not only is it sweeter but it's also closer to sucrose than the previously popular sweeteners saccharin and aspartas. If it can be safely audited as a sweetener, it will be more attractive than saccharin and aspartas.the company filed a patent and embarked on a long journey to qualify for sweetener. The core of any food additive to be approved is safety. Its absorption rate in the human gastrointestinal sphere is very low, only about
    11-27%
    will be absorbed, the rest directly excreted. Another 70-80%
    absorbed
    is excreted from the urine by the kidneys, and only a small portion is metabolized. Many research institutions have conducted their toxicology trials, and the International Joint Committee of Experts on Food Additives (
    JECFA
    ) reviewed the studies and issued its findings in
    1990
    , establishing a daily allowable intake of
    15
    mg per kilogram of body weight per day. The next year, Canada ben the first country to eat sucralose. Australia and New Zealand then approved its use.U.S., which is more welcoming to food additives, has a lower safety limit than
    JECFA
    , which is 5
    milligrams
    kg. For an adult
    60
    kg, the one-day limit is
    0.3
    grams. Considering that three sentences of sucrose are
    600
    times sweeter than sucrose, which is equivalent to
    180
    grams of sucrose - probably no one will eat "over the limit", which means it's safe. But the U.S
    didn't
    until 1998, a year later than china, which has always been conservative. The more conservative European Union, on the other
    , issued its findings in
    , endorsing the conclusions of the
    JECFA
    and

    in
    2004. By
    2008
    , about
    80 countries
    countries and territories had approved its use.sucralose into a positive fruit, the biggest winner is naturally Thales. Their product, called
    splenda
    , Chinese translated into "good sugar" in the product. Like other sweeteners, sucralose has no calories, does not cause caries, does not cause blood sugar fluctuations, and becomes the darling of "sugar-free foods". Superior to saccharin and aspartas, it is more sweet and "pure" and resistant to high temperatures so it can be used in baked goods. As a result, it swept the sweetener market as soon as it went on the market, defeating saccharin and aspartas.sucralose swept through the sweetener market, and the company that produces asparta sweets struggled to fight back. In the U.S., Thales is working with McNeil Nutrition Responsibility, a subsidiary of Johnson and Johnson, to develop sucralose products. Their slogan is "Made from sugar, so taste like sugar
    madefrom sugar, so it tastes like sugar
    ".
    2006
    ,
    Merisant
    , which produces aspartas sweets, sued the company that produces sucralose in Philadelphia, accusing them of misleading consumers with their propaganda. The case, which no one could afford to lose, ended in an out-of-court settlement, with the agreement not made public, but the slogan of sucralose has since been changed to the riddle "It originated in sugar and tastes like sugar, but not sugar
    Its start with sugar." It tastes likesugar. But it's not sugar.
    )”。regardless of that product, once Chinese manufacturers enter, it is basically a global price reduction. Thales held his ground in the Aspartas attack, but was completely disrupted by the Chinese manufacturers. Chinese manufacturers not only sell sucralose in China, but also sell it to the United States at a low price, forcing Thales to cut prices.
    2007
    , Thales filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission allied with multiple Chinese companies for infringing Thales' U.S. patents. The allegations, known as
    337
    investigation, would prohibit Chinese manufacturers of sucralose from entering the United States if the charges were established. The main market for sucralose is in the United States, and if Thales wins, it will be the destruction of these Chinese companies. Several Chinese companies responded positively, and even one company that was not on the list of allegations was involved. After collecting a great deal of evidence and reasoned to fight, these enterprises won the first instance. Tyre appealed, and after another round of fighting, on
    April

    , 2009

    , the International Trade Commission
    finally ruled that the companies responding were not infringing and that their products were free to enter the United States. Those who did not participate in the response were found guilty of infringement and were insequal to export to the United States.the U.S. International Trade Commission, though a U.S. agency, did not favor U.S. companies in the ruling, changing the market for sucralose in the U.S. and making Americans eat cheap and adequate sucralose.sucralose is calorie-free, and good sugar is also "sugar-free" as a selling point, but this is actually a bit of a legal hole. Sucralose is so sweet that it's inconvenient to use - where a spoonful of sugar is needed, it becomes 61 percent of the sugar, which is completely unoperable. Therefore, the sugar added malt paste or glucose to increase the volume, so that a spoonful of good sugar sweetness is the same as a spoonful of sucrose, so it is convenient to use. However, malt paste and glucose have the same energy density as sucrose, each containing
    4
    calories. Fortunately, good sugar becomes very fluffy after a special process, a good sugar is a g, and a serving of sucrose takes
    2.8
    grams. Because a serving of good sugar has fewer than
    5
    calories, it can be labeled as "0
    calories"
    U.S. specifications.although it is said that good sugar can be equal in volume instead of sucrose to obtain the same sweetness, but also high temperature and can be used in baked food, but it is not the same as sugar. First of all, it's not as water-protecting as sucrose, so what's baked will be drier. Second, it is not as prone to caramelization as sugar, and it is difficult to produce the unique golden yellow and baking aroma of baked goods.is only one aspect of the application of sucralose, and the unsatisfactory effect of not doing well in baking on its overall appeal is not great. However,
    paper published
    the journal Nature in 2014 casts a huge shadow over its prospects. The paper found that eating sweeteners, including sucralose, affects the gut microbiota, increasing the risk of glucose insatiability. Because of the authority of nature impurities, this study has caused great resonance. As you can expect, there will be further research to repeat and confirm. The safety of sucralose and other sweeteners is likely to be reviewed. Is it to overturn, modify, or uphold the original judgment? Let's keep an eye on it.
