Abstract
Crystalline sucralose having a mean particle size of at most 10 microns, the maximum particle size being no more than twice the mean, exhibits enhanced stability to heat. Preferably the sucralose has a mean particle size of at most 5 microns and a maximum particle size of at most 10 microns. A method of enhancing the thermal stability of crystalline sucralose comprises jet milling the sucralose to reduce the particle size, and render the size distribution such that the maximum size is no more than twice the mean.
