What is organic allulose syrup?
Organic Allulose Syrup is a low-calorie monosaccharide derived from non-GMO corn or figs via enzymatic conversion. Naturally occurring but rare (<0.1% in fruits), it delivers sugar-like functionality with only 0.4 kcal/g and zero glycemic impact, making it ideal for keto, diabetic, and reduced-sugar formulations.

Functional Advantages
- Sugar Replacement:
- 1:1 substitution for sugar/honey in recipes (adjust for 70% sweetness).
- Caramelizes & browns like sugar (Maillard reaction at 120°C+).
- Freezing Point Depression:
- Reduces ice crystal size by 50% vs. sugar (ideal for keto ice cream).
- Prebiotic Action:
- Feeds beneficial gut bacteria (Bifidobacterium spp.) without bloating.
- Moisture Retention:
- Extends baked goods’ freshness by 30% vs. erythritol blends.
Applications
Food & Beverage
- Beverages: Soft drinks, protein shakes, coffee syrups (excellent solubility).
- Bakery: Cookies, cakes, frostings (prevents crystallization).
- Confectionery: Gummies, chocolate (replaces corn syrup; reduces viscosity).
- Dairy: Yogurts, ice cream (improves texture; no cooling effect).
Nutraceuticals
- Sugar-free syrups for pediatric medications.
- Base liquid for electrolyte drinks.

FAQs
Q: How does allulose syrup differ from powdered allulose?
A: The syrup offers liquid convenience for recipes requiring moisture (e.g., beverages, sauces), while powder is better for dry mixes.
Q: Can I use allulose syrup for canning or preserves?
A: Yes! Its stability and solubility make it excellent for jams, jellies, and fruit preserves.
Q: Is organic allulose syrup keto-friendly?
A: Absolutely! It contains zero net carbs and won’t spike blood sugar levels.
Q: Does it caramelize like sugar?
A: Yes! It browns and caramelizes at high temperatures, perfect for flans or crème brûlée.
Q: Why does allulose syrup have minimal calories?
A: Most allulose is excreted undigested, so it contributes almost no usable energy.
