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.
