Product Introduction
Allulose powder, also known as Allulose, D-allulose or D-Psicose, is a naturally occurring rare monosaccharide, which is the epimer of the 3rd carbon of fructose (D-fructose), and exists in small amounts in raisins, figs, wheat, etc. The taste composition of D-allulose is highly similar to that of sucrose. It's 70% sweeter than sucrose, but has only 0.3% calories. It is a good substitute for sucrose, with pure sweetness, no peculiar smell, and strong sugar-preserving ability.
Crystalline Bulk Allulose has attracted much attention as a low-calorie, natural functional sweetener that does not affect blood sugar. Its safety has been recognized by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration), and it is one of the most competitive sugar substitutes currently.

Functions of Allulose
1. Low energy value
The sweetness of psicose powder is about 70% of that of sucrose, but the calories are much lower than that of sucrose, only one-tenth of that of sucrose.
2. High safety
Allulose is considered by European and American scholars to be the best substitute for erythritol, because the sweetness of the two is similar, and it is safer than sugar alcohol. Allulose had no effect on metabolism and blood sugar levels.
In addition, it does not use chemical synthesis. The general preparation method uses corn or sugar beet as raw material to prepare fructose by enzymatic epimerization. The obtained product is relatively simple and belongs to a natural product.
3. Great taste
In terms of taste, the sweetness of Allulose Powder is soft and delicate, and the pure sweetness is very similar to that of high-purity sucrose. The initial stimulation to the taste buds is slightly faster than that of sucrose, and there is no off-flavor during and after consumption. Its sweetness does not change with temperature, and it exhibits pure sweetness at various temperatures.
4. High stability
The structure and properties of Bulk Allulose are extremely stable and chemically inert. It can maintain its original state under acidic or alkaline conditions, and its stability is higher than that of sucrose. It is very convenient for various nutrient-rich raw materials in foods with complex sources.
Product Applications
Allulose is most often used in combination with other sweeteners or as a partial substitute for sucrose.
Allulose Powder is currently used in several new products, with confectionery, dairy and beverages being the most common applications. With the popularity of the ketogenic diet in Europe and the United States, many companies will use allulose to improve product formulations and launch new ketogenic versions.
