Description

Psicose (CAS NO 23140-52-5), also known as D-allulose, is a low-calorie, natural rare sugar that is approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose. This compound is highly valued for its unique metabolic properties, offering a sweet taste without the associated glycemic impact, making it a critical ingredient for modern health-conscious product development. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries seeking to create reduced-sugar and low-calorie offerings.

Application

• Functional Food & Beverage Formulation: Used as a bulk sweetener in sugar-free or reduced-calorie drinks, dairy products, baked goods, and confectionery.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into weight management and metabolic health supplements due to its minimal impact on blood glucose and insulin levels.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Serves as a taste-masking agent or a carrier in syrups and chewable tablets to improve palatability.
• Cosmetic Applications: Potential use in skincare formulations for its humectant properties.
• Research & Development: A key reference standard and intermediate in biochemical and nutritional science research.
