Reducing sugar is easy at least on paper it’s easy. Replacing everything sugar does in a formulation is considerably more complicated.
Sugar affects sweetness, but it can also influence mouthfeel, bulk, texture, browning, viscosity and flavor delivery. Remove it, and a formulator can quickly discover that solving for sweetness doesn't necessarily solve for the finished product. In fact, it can create a myriad of other problems.
That's what makes allSWEET® Allulose from Anderson Advanced Ingredients so interesting.
Allulose is a naturally occurring rare sugar found in foods including figs, raisins and kiwis. It delivers approximately 70% of the sweetness of sucrose with less than 10% of the calories. According to Anderson, allSWEET® produces no glycemic response, giving formulators an interesting option for products targeting sugar and calorie reduction.
The labeling story makes it even more compelling. Allulose is counted at just 0.4 calories per gram and, under FDA guidance, can be excluded from Total Sugars and Added Sugars declarations on the Nutrition Facts panel.
Then there's the formulation flexibility.
allSWEET® is available as crystalline powder or syrup, in conventional and organic-certified options, as an agglomerated form for optimized flow, and even as a brown sugar with a hint of molasses. That gives formulators options depending on what they're actually developing rather than forcing the same sweetener format into every application.
allSWEET® is also Non-GMO Project Verified, Keto Certified, Kosher, vegan and gluten-free, with applications spanning beverages, bakery, gummies, confectionery, dairy, frozen desserts, sports nutrition and other reduced-sugar products.
For formulators working on sugar reduction, allSWEET® presents an interesting question: what could a rare sugar with this combination of sweetness, calories, labeling advantages and format flexibility do in the formulation you're already developing?
