The ‘easiest’ way to mix Sucralose powder and Neotame powder solutions! ;-)

[locarbman]

• First - Determine the volume of solution you wish to prepare.

• Second - Calculate the number of ¼ teaspoons in this amount of solution.

• Third - Use the powder/sugar equivalence charts below to determine the teaspoons of powder necessary to provide the number of cups sugar equivalence that equal the number of ¼ teaspoons in the amount of solution you wish to prepare.

• Fourth - liquid may be ‘hot’ water or ‘cool’ Vegetable Glycerine. Water solutions require refrigeration. Vegetable Glycerine (a natural preservative with anti-bacterial properties) solutions do not require refrigeration. ;-)

Teaspoons Sucralose Powder = Cups Sugar Equivalence:
Tsps.......Cups
1oz.........171.25
1t..........12.50
1/2t.........6.25
1/4t.........3.13
1/8t.........1.56
1/16t........0.78
1/32t........0.39
1/64t........0.20
1/128t......0.10
1/256t......0.05
1/512t......0.02

As there are 42 (¼ teaspoons) in 3.5 tablespoons of my water solution (3.5Tablespoons * 3teaspoons * 4(¼ teaspoons)), and I desire a solution that will provide 1 cup sugar equivalence per ¼ teaspoon of solution (similar to Liquid Sucralose ;-), I used 3 + 1/4th + 1/8th teaspoons Sucralose Powder (equals 42.19 cups sugar equivalence per the above chart) with 3.5 Tablespoons 'hot' water for a solution strength of 192 times sugar, ¼th teaspoon solution = 1 cup sugar equivalence.

Teaspoons Neotame Powder = Cups Sugar Equivalence:
Tsps........Cups
1oz.......2,283.33
1t.........166.67
1/2t........83.33
1/4t........41.67
1/8t........20.83
1/16t......10.42
1/32t........5.21
1/64t.........2.6
1/128t.......1.3
1/256t.......0.65
1/512t.......0.33

As there are 168 (¼ teaspoons) in 7 fluid ounces of my Vegetable Glycerine solution (7floz * 2Tablespoons * 3teaspoons * 4(¼th teaspoons)), and I desire a solution that will provide 1 cup sugar equivalence per ¼ teaspoon of solution (similar to Liquid Sucralose ;-), I used 1 teaspoon Neotame Powder (equals 166.67 cups sugar equivalence per the above chart) with 7 fluid ounces 'cool' Vegetable Glycerine for a solution strength of 192 times sugar, ¼ th teaspoon solution = 1 cup sugar equivalence.

Hope this helps, easy math! locarbman… ;-)

OM Goodness Locarbman . Hi.

This is better than anything I've seen. Thanks so much I need this to hold onto.
I just ordered some powders.

[CreekWatcher]

locarbman, the liquid sucralose you're talking about is the small-bottle version of EZ Sweetz, where 1 drop tends to equal 2 tsp. of sugar?

[locarbman]

Hi CW ;-)

The Liquid Sucralose I refer to is the maximum strength one can create when excess Sucralose Powder no longer enters solution, 26 grams per 100 milliliters of water for a strength of 192 times sugar, referenced to you in post #71 of this thread:

for LoCarbman Newtame

Per my Sucralose Refractometer Testing Results (unfortunately removed by LCF when they decided to terminate Blog hosting) EZ-sweetz small bottle tested at 25 grams per 100 milliliters for a strength of 185 times sugar. Sweetzfree claimed 26 grams per 100 milliliters but tested at 24.7 grams per 100 milliliters for a strength of 183 times sugar. Commercial solution strengths may vary within production limits.

I created the maximum Liquid Sucralose strength by adding excess Sucralose powder to 370ml water which tested at 26 grams per 100 mililiters for a strength of 192 time sugar when excess powder no longer entered solution.

The above chart is calculated on the basis of Sucralose powder at a strength of 600 times sugar to create the maximum strength solution where 1 teaspoon powder is equal to 600 teaspoons sugar for a maximum solution strength of 192 times sugar.

Hope this helps...just trying to keep this thread simple...lol...locarbman...;-)

Yeah and I'm not helping.

Thanks!

[sistertzu]

Thanks for all the info!

I purchased 4oz of sucralose powder, it's going to last forever! I mix 3 tablespoons warm water and one tablespoon powder then put it in 3, 1/2 oz dropper bottles, one bottle last me around a month. Thank you so much for this most inexpensive option. I want to order some neotame (newtame) have you given a taste and use review anywhere? So I would use one teaspoon in 7oz of water or glycerin for 1/4 teaspoon to be 1 cup sweetening power? I will probably cut the measurements in half to keep the solution fresh.

[SCOTTSDALEJULIE]

Wow, haven't heard from locarbman for awhile. Just saying welcome back.

[locarbman]

CW, It's my fault, my 'simple' answer should have been YES! ;-)

Hi Sis ;-) You will find several reviews of Neotame in this thread:

"So I would use one teaspoon in 7oz of water or glycerin for 1/4 teaspoon to be 1 cup sweetening power?"
YES! ;-)

"I will probably cut the measurements in half to keep the solution fresh."
This is the 'beauty' of this approach, you can create your solutions in any volume you wish!

Hi back atcha Julie...been pretty busy caring for my Auntie Esther...just turned 96 and is getting pretty close to her passage to Heaven...unable to get out of bed for the past month...but is still in great spirits...she's a DOLL! ;-)

PS: Neotame powder is currently available on-line at EBAY ;-)

[SCOTTSDALEJULIE]

Boy, LoCarb man, I know just what you are going through. My mom was with us for 9 months. She, too, was 96. She passed away July 2. Thank God, she has you to take care of her.

[tulipsandroses]

Hmm, I never thought of making my own before. I am going to give this a try.

[sistertzu]

Thank you, such a wealth of info! The cost is $39 an ounce plus shipping now, I'm so excited!!!

[rosethorns]

Wow locarbman how is your Auntie Esther. Lovely name by the way.

Good for 96 and still going. Way cool. She sounds like a gem.

[dmburk]

1.75 oz. of powder for 14.99 from thebulksource. Much better price than the liquids.

[spoiltmomof2]

My math sucks at times and this is one of those times.

Is this correct:

1/8 tsp of Neotame mixed with 7 oz water or glycerin would make 1/4 tsp of solution equal to 1/8 cups of sugar? Or is that totally wrong?

I'm wanting a 1/4 tsp of final solution to equal an 1/8 cup of sugar or less. It will be easier to sweeten coffee this way.

Hi spoiltmomof2,

Yes ;-)

Given: 7 Fluid ounces of solution = 168 ¼ teaspoons and you desire 1/8 cup (6t) sugar equivalence per 1/4t solution then you would require 168 * 1/8 cups or 19.75 (168/8) cups of sugar equivalence. 1/8th teaspoon Neotame Powder = 20.83 cups (per the chart) which is a "bit more" but is the closest you can come to 19.75 cups without working with very small spoons.

Way to go....your math is OK!

I guess those college math courses helped me afterall. Lol

Ahhh yes...those wonderful college math courses!!! ;-)

As precision is our quest, you may achieve your desired strength of 6 teaspoons sugar equivalence per ¼ teaspoon solution by adding 2 plus 1/16 teaspoons water or glycerine to your solution.

How much liquid do we need to add to 7 fluid ounces solvent mixed with 1/8 teaspoon Neotame Powder for a solution yielding 6 teaspoons sugar equivalence per ¼ teaspoon solution?

1/8t Neotame Powder yields 20.83c sugar equivalence (per chart).
7floz Solution requires 19.75c sugar equivalence (desired strength of solution)
20.83c – 19.75c = 1.08c (51.84t) excess sugar equivalence
51.84t / 6t (per 1/4t solution) = 8.64 (1/4t) or 2.16t solvent to be added to 7floz (to achieve desired strength of solution)

Enjoy your Neotame sweetener!

locarbman.. ;-)

[spoiltmomof2]

Okay what am I doing wrong? I've mixed this up several times and it tastes "off" every time. It just doesn't taste like Splenda or EZsweetz. I am mixing it with just water. Should I try a glycerine/water mixture instead?

[THELOU]

Can anyone tell me a reputable site to buy powdered Sucralose. I don't trust the strength. And I want to make sure I get the level of sweetness that Lowcarbman is using in the conversions. I use the Sucralose to go and that is expensive. Also container suggestions?
Appreciate you help...Happy New Year !

[24Fan]

I don't know if you tried this, but e bay has a seller, from China. That's where I get mine. (Please, no comments regarding CHINA sales being full of 'lead/whatever' required. You've already posted it).

Last time I got it it was about 40 bucks. That was hmm over 2 yrs ago and I'm still using it and I bake!

ezsweet is the cheapest brand in the states. You can get it from Netrition for a great price also. The one you're using now isn't the same sweetness. LindaSue did the testing and it took way more of splenda to go compared to other liquid splenda brands (such as ezsweet). Hope that helps, TheLou
