Ingredient Overview
Allulose is a rare sugar with a sugar-like taste and about 70% of the sweetness of sucrose. Unlike an intense sweetener, it also brings physical solids to a recipe, which matters when a formulator is replacing some of the bulk normally supplied by sugar.
Crystalline allulose fits dry mixes and recipes where water is added separately. Syrup can be easier to meter into liquid systems, but its water and solids must be included in the formulation calculation. We supply both forms for bulk food and beverage projects; the appropriate specification can be selected for the application.
In baking, allulose participates in browning reactions and can develop color faster than sucrose under some conditions. In frozen desserts, it may also change freezing and texture. Test the finished recipe for sweetness, color, mouthfeel and shelf stability rather than assuming a one-for-one sugar replacement.
