Abstract
The chlorosucrose sweetener known as sucralose is prepared in a thermally stable composition by co-crystallization with a cyclodextrin. The resulting crystalline product may be comminuted to form particles of desired size for use as a sweetener component in place of or in addition to known sweeteners such as sucrose, saccharin and the like, in a variety of foods, comestibles, and oral medications. The preparation of the stabilized sucralose compositions of the present invention constitutes a molecular encapsulation of the sucralose within the cyclodextrin thereby protecting the sucralose from discoloration caused by heat. Numerous applications for this stabilized complex are suggested and disclosed.
