Description
Allulose is a low-calorie, naturally occurring sugar found in small quantities in certain fruits, such as figs, raisins, and jackfruit. It is classified as a "rare sugar" because it is not commonly found in most foods. Chemically, it is a monosaccharide (simple sugar), similar to fructose, but with only 0.2 to 0.4 calories per gram, significantly lower than the 4 calories per gram found in regular sugar.
Highlights
- Sweetness: It is about 70% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), making it an effective sugar substitute in various applications.
- Taste: It has a clean, sweet taste with no aftertaste, similar to sugar, which makes it a versatile substitute in both sweet and savory recipes.
- Uses: Commonly used in baked goods, beverages, candies, ice creams, and other food products as a sugar alternative. It can also be used in cooking and baking without significant loss of sweetness or texture.
- Digestibility: While most of the allulose consumed is not metabolized by the body, it is absorbed and excreted through urine without raising blood sugar levels.

- Use in Baking: Allulose behaves similarly to sugar in baking, but because it doesn’t caramelize like sugar, it may affect texture and appearance in some recipes.
