   inexpensive and convenient sweetener when mixed in a 1:16 solution, August 30, 2013

   A sucralose packet bought at the grocery store costs me about 2.5 cents and contains 12mg of sucralose. This bulk sucralose costs only 0.4 cents for the same amount. That’s even less expensive than the equivalent amount of sugar which would cost about 0.7 cents. The bulk product also wastes less packaging.

   I make a sucralose solution by weighing out 15g of sucralose (5 or 6 teaspoons) into a measuring cup sitting on a digital scale (see photo). Then I add 240g of lukewarm water and stir until all the sucralose is dissolved.

   This makes a 1:16 sucralose:water solution. I find it easier to measure this out than the 1:4 ratio typically used in commercial solutions.

   I put the solution in an old saline bottle that has an eyedropper tip (see photo). This makes it easy to pour out either individual drops or teaspoon-size quantities:

   – four drops (200mg) contains about 12mg of sucralose. This is the same as one packet of Splenda and provides the sweetness of 2 teaspoons of sugar.

   – one teaspoon (5g, about 100 drops) contains about 300mg of sucralose. This is the equivalent of one cup of sugar.

   The label on the package I received said it had been manufactured 6 months before it was shipped and that it has a 3-year shelf life.

   I was concerned that the relatively high cost per gram of pure sucralose might have caused someone to “cut” it with a less expensive additive. However, my impression is that this product is as sweet as the sucralose that I get in packets.

   The 100g package I received weighed 103 grams (see photo). A 500g package weighed 512g.

   I keep most of my solution in the fridge but I also transfer some to a small (35ml) bottle for use at work.

   This stuff is indistinguishable in taste from the “stretched” products like granular Splenda and far far less expensive! Once you get used to measuring such tiny amounts, it’s very easy to use. To give you some idea of its strength, 1/8 teaspoon is equal to 1.5 cups of sugar. For a bowl of cereal, a match-head worth is plenty. Grab some of the flat, wooden coffee stirrers from your local coffee shop (or buy them) and use the tip as a measure. I use the smallest of a tiny set of measuring spoons available at many places including Amazon. The smallest is called a “smidgen” and I use about half that for a 12-ounce mug of coffee. And I like my coffee very sweet.

   I paid about $37 including tax for 3.5 ounces of sucralose. To get the sugar equivalent, multiply by 600: 3.5*600=2100 ounces of sugar. 2100/16=131.25 pounds of sugar. Splenda granular is sold in 5 and 10 pound equivalent bags. I’ll use the larger 10-pound equivalent which is less expensive. One such bag costs a minimum of $13 anywhere I can find it including Amazon with the exception of sales. If you figure the number of 10# equivalent bags: 131.25/10=13.13. Multiply this by $13 to get the amount you’d pay for this much sucralose “fluffed up” into Splenda: 13.13*$13=$170.00. So you’re getting roughly $170 worth of sweetener for a price of around $37. I call that a bargain.

   Add to that the absence of maltodextrin which is used to make Splenda Granular “fluffy”. It isn’t all that bad for my blood sugar and I’m diabetic; I’ve heard others claim otherwise. But the stuff gives me gastric “issues” and I do not miss it! It is known to cause gas and diarrhea in sensitive individuals.

   RUN AWAY! No longer the 5-Star product it was., July 5, 2016

   Recent reorder shows the quality has gone down quite a bit. The texture is very different and clumpy. I still have some of the previous batch (50g) I keep at work. Night and day on the sweetness, concentration, and consistency. The new batch takes 10 times as much to attain the same sweetness. What used to take end of a toothpick now takes a blob the size of a pea.

   I’m no chemist, but this is not normal. The presence of fillers seems obvious. Search these reviews, you will see other making similar comments on recent orders.

   This WAS a 5-star product, now… don’t waste your time or money.
