Allulose (D-allulose) is a rare natural monosaccharide found in trace amounts in figs, raisins and maple syrup. Produced via enzymatic conversion from fructose, it matches sucrose's sweetness curve almost perfectly with no bitter aftertaste. FDA has ruled it generally need not be counted as added sugar — making it one of the fastest-growing sugar-reduction ingredients globally.
Near-zero calorie: Only 0.4 kcal/g, FDA not counted as added sugar
Sugar-like taste: Matches sucrose sweetness curve almost perfectly
Zero GI: No glycemic impact, suitable for diabetics
Maillard reaction: Browning capability ideal for bakery applications
Regulatory approved: FDA GRAS, FSANZ and multi-country approvals
