Allulose Is Not Your Average Sugar Substitute
What Is Allulose:
- One of the most revolutionary sweeteners to hit the market in decades
- Makes deep, clean cuts to 90% of added sugars
- A monosaccharide that can be found naturally in figs, raisins and maple syrup
- The chemical makeup is almost exactly the same as sucrose, but its slight difference in hydrogen and oxygen structures mean it has just one tenth of the calories of sugar
- Less than two calories per gram
Allulose As A Sweetening System:
- Has synergy with other sweeteners
- Similar taste and texture to sucrose
- No unpleasant aftertaste and is completely neutral
- Highly soluble at low or high temperature solutions
- No cooling effect like sweeteners such as erythritol
- Moisture-binding also contributes to extended shelf-life, brownies and cookies will not harden over time
- Provides the expected mouthfeel that sugar imparts, leading to a more satisfying flavor without requiring the addition of bulking ingredients
- In aerated food systems, foaming properties of egg whites are improved
- Participation in the Maillard reaction supports browning and adds a golden hue to breads and rolls
Allulose & The Body
- Unlikely to cause gas or bloating because it resists fermentation in the stomach.
- Studies suggest Allulose may lower blood glucose levels, which is promising to those with diabetes.
- Early research shows that allulose has some anti-inflammatory properties and could possibly help with chronic diseases
- May decrease the risk of type 2 diabetes by protecting the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas
