Allulose
Allulose – Overview
Allulose, also known as D-Allulose or D-Psicose, is a naturally occurring rare sugar found in small quantities in fruits such as figs, raisins, and jackfruit. It is a low-calorie sweetener that provides approximately 70% of the sweetness of regular sugar with nearly 90% fewer calories.
Allulose offers a clean, sugar-like taste without the bitter aftertaste commonly associated with some high-intensity sweeteners. It has minimal impact on blood glucose and insulin levels, making it an attractive sugar alternative for reduced-sugar formulations. It is widely used in beverages, bakery products, confectionery, dairy products, and other low-calorie food formulations.
Allulose is an innovative sweetening solution for food and beverage manufacturers seeking to reduce sugar and calorie content without compromising taste and quality.
Product Specifications
Allulose is produced through an enzymatic process that converts corn starch into allulose, followed by purification, crystallization, and drying to obtain a white crystalline powder. It is a low-calorie sweetener with approximately 70% of the sweetness of regular sugar and a clean, pleasant taste without bitterness. Allulose has good solubility and helps improve the taste, texture, moisture retention, and browning of food products. It is an excellent sugar alternative for use in beverages, bakery products, confectionery, dairy products, and other reduced-sugar and low-calorie formulations.
