Description

L-Psicose, also known as D-allulose, is a low-calorie, natural rare sugar that is approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose. This compound matters significantly as a functional sweetener due to its minimal impact on blood glucose and insulin levels, making it a valuable ingredient for health-conscious food and beverage formulations. Industries such as nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and functional food production need it to develop reduced-sugar and low-glycemic index products.

Application

• As a bulk sweetener in sugar-free and reduced-calorie beverages, dairy products, and baked goods.
• Key ingredient in the formulation of functional foods and nutraceuticals targeting weight management and metabolic health.
• Used in pharmaceutical intermediates and as an excipient in certain drug delivery systems.
• As a flavor enhancer and modifier in various food applications, improving overall taste profile.
• Component in cosmetic and personal care products for its moisturizing properties.
• Substrate in biochemical research and enzymatic studies.
• Raw material for the synthesis of other rare sugars and chiral building blocks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
