Sucralose is approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose. How many milligrams of sucralose are needed to match the sweetness of a beverage containing 20 grams (20,000 mg) of sucrose?

• A. Approximately 33.33 mg of sucralose.
• B. Approximately 0.0333 mg, reflecting that sucralose is many times sweeter and therefore only microgram amounts are required to replace grams of sucrose.
• C. Approximately 333.3 mg of sucralose because you multiply the sucrose mass by the relative sweetness value to obtain the sweetener mass needed.
• D. Approximately 120 mg, which is the standard packet amount used to replace 20 g of sucrose in beverages across all brands.
