Just wondering since people seem to be using both and my initial impression was that ethyl maltol was used as a sweetener, but then I read a product description that said that it "can be used to mellow or give a sweetening effect to a recipe without adding any actual sweetness like sugar or sucralose." How does it give a "sweetening effect" without "adding any actual sweetness?" I'm mildly bewildered here...
I have yet to use sucralose as i ordered EM with my first order of supplies. Using about 3 drops per 10ml as some suggest, there was no sweetness that i could detect. I read on a forum some people using up to 10% EM. I tried using 10% solution and it was very sweet. Tasted like i was vaping sugar.
The biggest difference i have observed is Sucralose is very potent, you taste the sweetness in your mouth and on your tounge, while EM is more of a subtle sweetness, you get more of a hint of sweetness rather than a direct taste. That is using them both at the same, low, percentage.
