D-Allulose

Core Functional Properties

● Ultra-Low Calorie

Hardly digested and absorbed by human body, with only 0.4 kcal/g calorie, 1/10 of sucrose. It serves as the core substitute for sugar-free, low-calorie and ketogenic food formulas.

● Sucrose-Level Authentic Sweetness

70% sweetness relative to sucrose, with full-bodied natural sweetness and pure lingering taste. It completely eliminates unpleasant aftertaste, bitter finish and cooling effect of traditional sugar substitutes for superior palatability.

● Near-Zero Glycemic Index & Zero Metabolic Load

Barely absorbed in the small intestine, causes no fluctuations in blood glucose and insulin, suitable for blood sugar-sensitive groups and weight-control populations.

● Exclusive Thermal Processing Reactivity

Uniquely capable of replacing sucrose to realize baking browning, Chinese-style sugar color sautéing, caramelization and brittle sugar drawing, delivering golden appearance and rich caramel aroma. This irreplaceable merit differentiates it from common sugar alternatives.

● Low Cariogenicity

Oral flora cannot ferment it to produce acid that erodes tooth enamel, effectively reducing dental caries risk of finished food.

● Robust System Stability

Tolerant to extreme temperature and pH, no crystallization under freezing conditions and no decomposition under high heat, applicable to full categories of beverages, bakery and frozen desserts.

Physiological Regulation Functions

As a functional rare sugar, D-Allulose delivers multiple positive physiological benefits:

● Stabilize Postprandial Blood Glucose

Inhibits the activity of carbohydrate-decomposing enzymes, delays absorption of starch and saccharides, flattens post-meal blood glucose peaks and alleviates metabolic pressure.

● Assist Weight & Fat Management

Restrains fat synthesis and accelerates fat decomposition to reduce visceral fat accumulation; mildly prolongs satiety to support calorie control and fat loss.

● Optimize Intestinal Microecology

Undigested fractions undergo gentle fermentation in the gut to generate short-chain fatty acids, protect intestinal barrier and balance flora composition.

● Antioxidant Protection

Scavenges free radicals and relieves oxidative stress; moderate long-term intake helps maintain overall metabolic homeostasis.
