A sweetener composition and a method of producing it. The composition contains granules having a core and a layer on the core. The core contains one or more nutritive sweeteners, such as sucrose, and the layer on the core contains sucralose. The layer may optionally contain a binder and/or non-nutritive sweeteners in addition to sucralose. The composition may contain (other than materials of no essential significance) only such granules, or it may include such granules admixed with granules containing only nutritive sweeteners (such as sucrose). Compositions of the invention may exhibit a variety of advantages, including good sweetness homogeneity and good stability under accelerated aging conditions. La présente invention concerne une composition édulcorante et un procédé pour la préparer. La composition contient des granules comprenant un coeur revêtu d'une couche. le coeur contient un ou plusieurs édulcorants nutritifs tels que du saccharose, et la couche contient du sucralose. La couche peut éventuellement contenir un liant et/ou des édulcorants non nutritifs en plus du sucralose. La composition peut contenir (en plus des substances sans grande importance), uniquement des granules de ce type, ou peut contenir des granules de ce type mélangées à des granules qui contiennent uniquement des édulcorants nutritifs (tels que le saccharose). Les compositions de l'invention peuvent présenter différents avantages, y compris une bonne homogénéité d'édulcoration et une bonne stabilité dans des conditions de vieillissement accéléré.
