RE: mixing Sucralose in advance

[Guest guest]

Warren: I never mix my sucralose in advance. I just use the monkey pod

spoon to add it to things, much like one would add table sugar. Is there a

difference? It's very convenient not to have to mix and to just dole out in

powdered form as needed.

Francesca and ALL:

How one dispenses Sucralose depends on what is convenient.

There are advantages both ways -- diluted liquid or

powder concentrate.

I happen to prefer the diluted liquid. Others like the

concentrated powder. Nice that we have a choice!

As a powder, it is indeed very, very concentrated,

and perhaps harder to measure accurately.

If the powder happens to be tasted directly, and a lump

is not properly mixed or diluted into the recipe, then

it may appear to taste bitter, which is the natural reaction

(previously noted on the List) of the human palate to

abnormally intense and excessively concentrated sweetness.

One person a while back noted this normal response, was

surprised, and thought his perfectly good product had spoiled!

This was a misconception and an error, which can be avoided

by diluting the product in the form of a liquid concentrate.

In reality, I happen to find the liquid more convenient and

easier to dispense and titrate (measure more precisely to a

known level of sweetness). Others might say otherwise.

Perhaps some List Members should comment on the method they

happen to prefer for dispensing Sucralose, telling what they

like about their chosen method -- liquid or powder?

I dilute it 100:1 by weight in water, so I can precisely sweeten recipes using my kitchen scale (27g=1 cup sugar).
