| Section2 = | Section3 = }} Sucralose is a non-nutritive sweetener. The majority of ingested sucralose is not broken down by the body, so it is noncaloric.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Gestational Diabetes andLow-Calorie Sweeteners: Answers to Common Questions )〕 In the European Union, it is also known under the E number E955. Sucralose is about 320 to 1,000 times sweeter than sucrose,〔Michael A. Friedman, Lead Deputy Commissioner for the FDA, (Food Additives Permitted for Direct Addition to Food for Human Consumption; Sucralose ) Federal Register: 21 CFR Part 172, Docket No. 87F-0086, April 3, 1998〕 twice as sweet as saccharin, and three 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.〔(A Report on Sucralose from the Food Sanitation Council ), The Japan Food Chemical Research Foundation〕 Common brand names of sucralose-based sweeteners are Splenda, Zerocal, Sukrana, SucraPlus, Candys, Cukren, and Nevella. ==History== Sucralose was discovered in 1976 by scientists from Tate & Lyle, working with researchers Leslie Hough and Shashikant Phadnis at Queen Elizabeth College (now part of King's College London). While researching ways to use sucrose and its synthetic derivatives for industrial use, Phadnis was told to "test" a chlorinated sugar compound. Phadnis thought Hough asked him to "taste" it, so he did. He found the compound to be exceptionally sweet. Tate & Lyle patented the substance in 1976; as of 2008, the only remaining patents concern specific manufacturing processes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tate & Lyle loses sucralose patent case )〕 Sucralose was first approved for use in Canada in 1991. Subsequent approvals came in Australia in 1993, in New Zealand in 1996, in the United States in 1998, and in the European Union in 2004. By 2008, it had been approved in over 80 countries, including Mexico, Brazil, China, India, and Japan.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener FAQ: Safety & Product Information: What research has been conducted to confirm the safety of SPLENDA® )〕 In 2006, the US Food and Drug Administration amended the regulations for foods to include sucralose as a non-nutritive sweetener in food. In May 2008, Fusion Nutraceuticals launched a generic product to the market, using Tate & Lyle patents. In April 2015 PepsiCo announced that it would be moving from aspartame to sucralose for most of its diet drinks in the US,〔()〕 due to sales of Diet Pepsi falling by more than 5% in the US. PepsiCo says its decision is a commercial one - responding to consumer preferences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sucralose」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
