What is Allulose?
Allulose is a low-calorie rare sugar, that delivers the taste, texture and enjoyment of sucrose but offers 90% fewer calories with no sugar.
Allulose is approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose. This similarity enables food and beverage manufacturers to
make great-tasting products with fewer calories using Allulose.
Allulose is recognized as GRAS by the US FDA and can be found naturally in wheat, figs, raisins and jackfruit.
In the USA, Allulose is not counted as part of total and added sugars. It is not metabolized by the body and therefore does not
increase blood glucose or insulin levels.
Allulose is highly soluble and similar to sucrose as its solubility increases with temperature.

In the field of medicine and health:
Allulose can inhibit lipogenic enzymes and intestinal α-glucosidase, thereby reducing the accumulation of
body fat and inhibiting the rise of blood sugar concentration.
Adding D-allulose to the diet can reduce postprandial blood sugar response, improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
In addition, compared with other rare sugars, allulose can more effectively remove reactive oxygen free radicals.
Allulose has the potential to treat related diseases such as neural tissue degeneration and atherosclerosis.
In the field of food application:
D-allulose has the advantages of high sweetness, good solubility, low calories and low blood sugar response,
and is considered to be one of the most ideal sucrose substitutes.
Adding allulose to food can not only improve its gelation, but also undergo Maillard reaction with food protein
to improve its flavor and maintain the antioxidant level of food for a longer time.
