Allulose is a low-calorie, low-glycemic response sweetener that is about 70% as sweet as sucrose but contains only 10% of the calories of sucrose. It is not metabolized by oral bacteria, so it does not cause tooth decay. Allulose also has good solubility and heat stability, making it suitable for use in a variety of foods and beverages. Additionally, it can undergo the Maillard reaction with proteins, enhancing the flavor of food. Allulose also has prebiotic effects, supporting gut health.
