Why does sucralose taste like aspartame?

Sucralose and Aspartame both taste sweet because they interact with the same taste receptors on the tongue, triggering a similar sweet sensation. Although they are chemically different—sucralose being a chlorinated derivative of sucrose and aspartame a dipeptide—both are designed to mimic the sweetness of sugar. Additionally, their taste profiles may share similarities due to their use in similar food products, leading to a perception of comparable sweetness. However, individual taste perceptions can vary, influencing how people experience their flavors.
