PsicoseD-psicose, also known as D-allulose, or D-ribo-2-hexulose, is a natural but rare monosaccharide. D-psicose is a C3 epimer of D-fructose which has similar taste and volume property to sucrose, and can react with amino acids or proteins in food like sucrose. It is an ideal substitute for sucrose in food and is called "low-calorie sucrose".

Property
Allulose is 70% as sweet as sucrose, but it has only 3% of the calories of sucrose, or 0.2kcal per gram. D-allulose can be absorbed by the small intestine and enter into the blood circulation in the human body. It will not be metabolized into energy after being absorbed by the small intestine and has low fermentability for intestinal microorganisms.
Application
1. Allulose is a soluble zero-fat sugar and has little effect on blood glucose, making it particularly suitable for food processing.
2. Allulose has the advantages of high sweetness and low calories, and it is considered to be one of the most ideal substitutes for sucrose. Adding D-aloxone to food can not only improve the degree of gelation, but also improve the flavor of food.
