Abstract:

Carbohydrates play a pivotal role in our biological system and daily life, and have been considered as an important teaching content for organic chemistry. Sucralose which is derived from sucrose is a new type of sweetener with great economic value and can be served as a good teaching material for undergraduate course. This article describes the properties, discovery, synthesis and application of sucralose and also discusses the possibility of sucralose becoming a subject in the organic chemistry course, which is a new exploration of integrating practical applications of fine organic products into organic chemistry teaching.

Key words: Sweetener, Sucralose, Carbohydrate, Chemical synthesis
