Low-calorie sweetness for sauces and dressings

A sweet note turns dressings and sauces into something special. For health-conscious consumers, taste, and calorie content play an important role. The simple sugar allulose has two characteristics that make it appealing in dressings and sauces: On the one hand, the human body cannot metabolize allulose. Thus, it does not provide any energy and with only 0.2-0.4 kcal/g has a ten times lower calorific value than the household sugar sucrose (4 kcal/g). On the other hand, unlike sugar alternatives such as sweeteners or sugar alcohols, allulose has no off-flavour, i.e. no undesirable aftertaste. It tastes sugar-typical and can therefore adequately replace sucrose.

Better consistency, well-tolerated

Sweeteners such as stevia cannot replace the household sugar sucrose in sauces and dressings completely. They either do not bring any body into the end product, so that the mouth feeling and consistency are not right, or they are not digestible in larger quantities. This is different with allulose: because it is well tolerated and naturally brings body into the product, allulose can be an excellent substitute for sucrose. It also has a ten times lower calorie content than table sugar.
