Allulose
Rare Sugar Sweetener - Low Calorie Sugar Alternative
CAS: 551-68-8Product Overview
Allulose, also known as D-psicose, is a rare sugar that occurs naturally in small quantities in fruits like figs, raisins, and jackfruit. It is classified as a "rare sugar" and has gained significant attention as a next-generation sweetener due to its unique nutritional profile.
Allulose provides approximately 70% of the sweetness of sucrose (table sugar) while containing only 0.2 kcal per gram - nearly 90% fewer calories than sugar. It has a clean, sugar-like taste without bitter aftertaste and does not raise blood glucose or insulin levels significantly.
Our food-grade allulose is produced through enzymatic conversion from other sugars, ensuring consistent quality and purity for food and beverage applications.
