Allulose, sugar substitute: More data is required for a health assessment as a food ingredient
Description
D-allulose is a rare sugar belonging to the monosaccharides. The sweetness of D-allulose corresponds to about 70 % of the sweetness of household sugar (saccharose). However, a significantly lower calorie intake is associated with the consumption of D-allulose. D-allulose is therefore one of the sugar substitutes listed in the National Reduction and Innovation Strategy for Sugars, Fats and Salts in Ready-Made Products by the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL). No opinion on the safety of D-allulose as a novel food has been adopted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as yet.
