Scope note
An artificial sweetener made by a multi-step process that starts with ordinary table sugar (sucrose) and replaces three hydrogen-oxygen groups on the sugar molecule with three chlorine atoms. It was discovered in 1976 by researchers at Queen Elizabeth College, University of London, during a collaborative research program with UK sugar producer, Tate & Lyle, PLC. It is sold under the brand name Splenda (TM). In conservation, it has been used in the treatment of waterlogged wood.
