Sucralose is a new sweetener discovered during a collaborative research program between Tate & Lyle and Queen Elizabeth College of the University of London. It is made by selective substitution of sucrose hydroxyl groups by chlorine, resulting in a highly intense (600x) sugarlike sweetness and exceptional stability at both high temperature and low pH. The research leading to the discovery of sweetness in differently halogenated sucrose is described, as well as the development of sucralose and the process of safety testing and government approval. Finally, sucralose properties and applications in Canada's food and beverage industries are discussed.
三氯蔗糖是在泰特利尔公司与伦敦大学伊丽莎白女王学院合作开展的一项研究项目中发现的一种新型甜味剂。它是通过用氯选择性取代蔗糖的羟基而制成的，具有极高的甜度（是蔗糖的600倍），并且在高温和低pH值条件下都具有出色的稳定性。文中描述了导致发现不同卤代蔗糖具有甜味的研究，以及三氯蔗糖的开发过程、安全性测试和政府审批流程。最后，讨论了三氯蔗糖在加拿大食品和饮料行业中的特性及应用。
