Formula of sucrose

The molecular formula of sucralose is C 12H 19Cl 3O 8, while the formula for sucrose is C 12H 22O 11. Superficially, the sucralose molecule looks like the sugar molecule. The difference is that three of the oxygen-hydrogen groups attached to the sucrose molecule are replaced by chlorine atoms to form sucralose. About Sucralose Sucralose was discovered by scientists at Tate & Lyle in 1976 during the taste-testing of a chlorinated sugar compound. One report is that researcher Shashikant Phadnis thought his coworker Leslie Hough asked him to taste the compound (not a usual procedure), so he did and found the compound to be extraordinarily sweet compared with sugar. The compound was patented and tested, first approved for use as a non-nutritive sweetener in Canada in 1991. Health Effects Hundreds of studies have been performed on sucralose to determine its effects on human health. Because it's not broken down in the body, it passes through the system unchanged. No link has been found between sucralose and cancer or developmental defects. It's considered safe for children, pregnant women, and nursing women. It's also safe for use by people with diabetes; however, it does raise blood sugar levels in certain individuals. However, there are some negative aspects to using sucralose. The molecule eventually breaks down if cooked long enough or at a high enough temperature, releasing potentially harmful compounds called chlorophenols. Ingesting these alters the nature of our gut bact...
