Allulose; a Sweetener That Offers the Taste and Texture of Sugar with Fewer Calories
Allulose is a low-calorie epimer of the monosaccharide sugar
fructose, used by some major commercial food & beverage manufacturers as a
low-calorie sweetener. Allulose has received Generally Recognized as Safe
(GRAS) status from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a low calorie
sugar with the same sweet taste people expect from sugar. According to the FDA,
people of all ages can enjoy allulose in foods and beverages. Allulose has
several health benefits as it is derived from various natural sources.

Allulose helps maintain blood sugar levels (control glucose
levels), reduce oxidative stress and inflammation, and improve insulin
resistance, therefore, help prevent various chronic diseases. Moreover, early
research suggests that allulose has anti-inflammatory properties, and may help
prevent obesity and reduce the risk of chronic disease. Moreover, due to its
low calorie content, allulose may benefit people suffering from obesity,
diabetes, and may promote overall weight loss. Furthermore, it may have
antioxidant properties and reduce inflammation.
Allulose doesn't have many, so it's a good choice for
keto-friendly sweets. Allulose also doesn't affect blood sugar or insulin
levels. So it's a good alternative for people with certain conditions like
diabetes. Allulose is a type of sugar substitute, or a substance that sweetens
the flavor of food or drink without contributing added sugar or calories. In
both animal and human studies, allulose has been found to lower blood sugar
levels, increase insulin sensitivity and help protect the insulin-producing
pancreatic beta cells.
Allulose appears safe and is unlikely to cause health
problems when consumed in moderation. German start-up Savanna Ingredients GmbH
is producing allulose monosaccharide, or allulose, which is a rare but up and
coming natural sugar that it positions as real sugar without calories. Global
ingredient provider, Ingredion, has opened its new manufacturing facility in
Mexico, to produce allulose, the first of its kind for the company in the
region.
