L-psicose

Description:

L-Psicose, also known as D-allulose, is a rare sugar and a monosaccharide that belongs to the class of ketoses. It is characterized by its sweet taste, which is approximately 70% as sweet as sucrose, but with significantly fewer calories, making it an attractive alternative sweetener. L-Psicose is a C-3 epimer of D-fructose, differing in the configuration around one specific carbon atom. This sugar is naturally found in small quantities in certain fruits and has gained attention for its potential health benefits, including its ability to regulate blood glucose levels and its low glycemic index. L-Psicose is soluble in water and exhibits a similar chemical structure to other sugars, allowing it to participate in Maillard reactions, which can affect flavor and color in food products. Its CAS number, 16354-64-6, is used for identification in chemical databases. As a food ingredient, L-psicose is recognized for its safety and is generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by food safety authorities.

L-Psicose

CAS: 16354-64-6

L-Psicose is a monosaccharide that is the only metabolite of D-fructose. It is found in many living organisms, such as bacteria and fungi. L-Psicose has been shown to inhibit ribitol dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in the production of ribitol, which catalyzes the conversion of ribitol to ribulose 5-phosphate. Ribulose 5-phosphate is an important precursor molecule for glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways. In addition, L-psicose has been shown to bind to proteins through hydrogen bonding, which may prevent the protein from folding properly or interacting with other molecules. This binding can lead to cell death if it inhibits essential cellular functions.
