Sucralose ntabwo ari isukari, ahubwo ni uburyohe. Ihindurwamo nogutunganya imiti ya sucrose, igahitamo gusimbuza amatsinda atatu ya hydroxyl muri molekile yisukari na atome eshatu za chlorine, bityo ikaba idafite imiterere ya metabolike iranga karubone. Uburyohe bwa sucralose bushobora kugera ku nshuro 600 za sucrose, ariko ntabwo bwinjizwa numubiri wumuntu kandi ntibutanga karori, kubwibyo bifatwa nkibiryo bidafite intungamubiri. ?

Sucralose ikoreshwa cyane nk'igisimbuza isukari mu biribwa n'ibinyobwa, cyane cyane ibereye abarwayi ba diyabete n'abarya indyo yuzuye, kuko itazatera ihindagurika ry'isukari mu maraso. Nubwo, nubwo sucralose ibereye abarwayi ba diyabete, ingano ya sucralose ikoreshwa buri gihe igomba kugenzurwa murwego runaka kugirango birinde ingaruka z’ubuzima. Byongeye kandi, sucralose mubusanzwe ntabwo ikoreshwa wenyine, ahubwo yongeweho nkibiryo byongera ibicuruzwa bitandukanye.

Imiti ya chimique ya sucralose ni C12H19Cl3O8, ifite ibiranga uburyohe bwinshi, ituze ryinshi, hamwe no gutuza kumucyo, ubushyuhe, na pH. Irashobora gushonga cyane mumazi, methanol, na Ethanol. Yatejwe imbere hamwe na patenti na Taylor & Co. na kaminuza ya Londere mu 1976, ikaba yarashyizwe ku isoko mu 1988. Nimwe mu biryoshye cyane.
