Allulose, an isomer of fructose, is a naturally occurring, non-GMO, low-calorie sugar known as the “magic sugar.” Found naturally in figs, raisins, wheat, maple syrup and molasses, this sugar can be made from cornstarch and is a simple sugar that is easy to digest. It is about 70% as sweet as sucrose and tastes similar to regular sucrose, but without many of the drawbacks of regular sugar. From a chemical structure point of view, allulose is similar to fructose naturally found in fruits and is not absorbed by the body, so it does not increase caloric intake. At the same time, it has the function of regulating blood sugar, which is very beneficial to human health, and is regarded by the US Food Navigation Network as the most feasible substitute for sucrose.
Features :
Sweetness and taste: The sweetness is about 70% of sucrose, the sweetness is soft, close to the flavor of sucrose, and has no bad aftertaste; the sweetness does not change with temperature, and it is applicable to a wide range of scenarios.
Stability: stable chemical properties, not easy to decompose at room temperature, acid-resistant (not easy to convert when mixed with citric acid, etc.), heat-resistant, suitable for food processing technology.
3. Metabolic characteristics: It is difficult for the human body to metabolize, 70% is excreted through urine/feces, providing almost no energy.
Function:
Low-calorie advantage: helps control sugar and lose weight.
Blood sugar regulation: Inhibit intestinal α-glycosidase activity, delay carbohydrate absorption, reduce postprandial blood sugar peak; improve insulin sensitivity, protect pancreatic islet function .
Non-cariogenic: not metabolized by oral bacteria, does not produce cariogenic acid, and protects teeth.
Antioxidant: scavenge reactive oxygen species and reduce oxidative stress damage.
5. Fat regulation: inhibit fat synthesis, promote lipolysis, and reduce fat accumulation in the body .
Application:
Baked products
ice cream
Nutritional bars
Sweeteners
Chocolate Application
Advantages:
Strong adaptability in the food field: it can be used in beverages, baking, candies, dairy products, etc., and can achieve “reduce sugar without reducing taste” without affecting the flavor and texture of the product.
Great potential to replace sucrose: its taste is similar and its function is better than that of sucrose. It is regarded as an ideal sucrose substitute and is in line with the trend of healthy eating.
Expand applications: It can be used as raw materials to produce environmentally friendly plant-based materials, which can be used in non-food fields such as liquid crystal displays.
Security:
International certification: recognized as safe (GRAS) by the US FDA in 2011, allowed to be used as a food additive and dietary ingredient
No obvious side effects: harmless to the human body within the normal intake range, suitable for all types of people (including special groups who need to control sugar)
