Description
Sucralose 50 g – intense sweetener with a long-lasting effect
Sucralose is a highly concentrated sweetener with a clean, sweet taste, a full 600 times sweeter than ordinary sugar. It dissolves easily in liquid and is often used in drinks such as cider, where it adds sweetness without fermenting further or affecting the final product. Sucralose can also be used in beer and other drinks.
For the best flavour balance, sucralose is commonly combined with Acesulfame K. Acesulfame K gives an immediate sweetness that fades quickly, while sucralose gives a smooth, long-lasting sweet taste.
Dosage
The amount of sweetener depends on the sweetness you want and what the cider is made from. If the cider is apple-based, the fruit itself contributes natural sweetness. Recommended dosage per litre:
- Mild sweetness: 0.05 g sucralose + 0.08 g Acesulfame K
- Sweeter profile: 0.11 g sucralose + 0.10 g Acesulfame K
With the right combination of sweeteners you get a well-balanced cider whose sweetness brings out the fruitiness without dominating.
