Description

D-Psicose is a rare, low-calorie monosaccharide sugar, also known as D-allulose, with the CAS number 551-68-8. It offers approximately 70% of the sweetness of sucrose but with only a fraction of the calories, making it a powerful tool for sugar reduction strategies. This functional sweetener is in high demand by manufacturers in the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries seeking to develop healthier, low-glycemic index products without compromising on taste.

Application

• As a bulk sweetener in sugar-free and reduced-calorie beverages, dairy products, and baked goods.
• As a key ingredient in functional foods and dietary supplements targeting blood glucose management.
• For flavor enhancement and browning in confectionery, sauces, and dressings.
• In pharmaceutical formulations as a taste-masking agent or excipient.
• As a prebiotic component to support gut health in specialized nutritional products.
• For research and development in food science and metabolic studies.
