SECALOSE Meaning and
Definition
-
Seccalose is a non-nutritive artificial sweetener that belongs to the class of high-intensity sweeteners. Chemically known as 1,1′,6,6′-Tetrahydroxyhexane, it is commercially available under the brand name Sucralose. Seccalose is derived from sucrose by replacing three hydroxyl groups with chlorine atoms, which modifies its molecular structure and renders it resistant to degradation by the human body's digestive enzymes. Due to this modification, Sucralose is approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose, providing intense sweetness with little to no caloric value.
Seccalose offers a sugar-like taste and is often used as an alternative to sugar in various food and beverage products, including baked goods, confectionery, dairy products, soft drinks, and tabletop sweeteners. It can be used in cooking and baking as it maintains its sweetness under high temperatures. The use of seccalose allows manufacturers to reduce the caloric content and sugar content of their products while maintaining a sweet taste.
Seccalose is generally considered safe for consumption, as it has been extensively studied and approved by regulatory authorities such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). It is not metabolized by the body and is excreted unchanged, making it suitable for people with diabetes or those following a calorie-controlled diet. However, some individuals may experience digestive discomfort or adverse effects when consuming large amounts of Seccalose, and thus moderation is advised.
