1. What is Allulose?
Allulose (D-Psicose) is a monosaccharide epimer of fructose found in trace amounts in wheat and figs. Industrially, it is the premier low-calorie sweetener (10% calories of sugar) that behaves like sucrose in baking. Unlike polyols (Erythritol/Xylitol), Allulose participates in caramelization (Maillard reaction), making it essential for R&D teams developing high-quality keto and diabetic-friendly food systems.
2. Technical Specifications Table
| Parameter | Industrial Standard |
|---|---|
| Assay (D-Psicose) | ≥ 99.0% (HPLC) |
| Specific Rotation [α]D20 | +54.0° to +56.0° |
| Mesh Size | 30-60 Mesh (Uniform Crystalline) |
| Residual Fructose | ≤ 0.5% |
3. Source & Origin
Produced via enzymatic conversion of non-GMO fructose derived from corn or beet starch. Exbiol utilizes proprietary epimerase enzymes in a vertically integrated Shaanxi facility, ensuring a clean isolate free from chemical synthesis byproducts.
4. Mechanism of Action
Allulose works through competitive absorption. It is absorbed by the small intestine but not metabolized by the liver, resulting in virtually zero glycemic energy. It may support functional properties of fat oxidation and post-prandial glucose suppression by inhibiting alpha-glucosidase activity.
5. Application Benefits
Unlike polyols, Allulose allows for sugar-free caramelization in industrial baked goods.
FDA GRAS status allows it to be excluded from “Added Sugars” on US nutrition labels.
6. Usage & Formulation Guide
Baking Temperature: Allulose browns faster than sucrose. R&D teams should reduce oven temperatures by 10-15°C. For beverages, it provides high stability between pH 3.0 and 7.0. Add to the aqueous phase for Instant Aqueous Clarity.
7. Industrial Evolution
The industry has moved from RAW fig-extraction to Exbiol’s Third-Generation Enzymatic Biocatalysis. This ensure zero fructose residues and non-GMO compliance for Tier-1 global retail brands.

17. Technical FAQ for Bulk Buyers
Q: How does the Allulose ratio compare to the USP/FCC standard?
Every bulk batch strictly matches the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and USP standards for D-Psicose. We provide full HPLC chromatograms documenting zero residual dextrin or adulterants.
Q: How does Allulose affect the freezing point in ice cream?
Allulose has a greater effect on freezing point depression than sucrose, yielding a softer texture in low-calorie frozen desserts.
Q: Is your Allulose stable for high-heat baking?
Yes, Allulose is thermally stable up to 160°C and participates in the Maillard reaction, allowing for caramelization unlike Erythritol.
Q: What is the Specific Rotation of your bulk stock?
We maintain a verified +54.0° to +56.0° to ensure 100% enantiomeric purity of the D-isomer.
Q: Is Allulose safe for pets?
Unlike Xylitol, Allulose does not cause dangerous insulin spikes in canines, though it is primarily intended for human consumption.
