Application of Allulose in Candy & Gum
What is Allinkle™Allulose?
Natural Monosaccharide, Enhanced Performance
Allinkle™Allulose is a natural monosaccharide classified as a "rare sugar," accounting for less than 0.005% of naturally occurring carbohydrates. It is naturally found in small quantities in foods such as figs, raisins, wheat, maple syrup, and brown sugar. Structurally, Allinkle™Allulose is an epimer of fructose, sharing the same molecular formula (C6H12O6) but with a different three-dimensional structure. It appears as a white crystalline powder with approximately 70% of the sweetness of sucrose.
Commercially, Allinkle™Allulose is primarily produced through enzymatic conversion of fructose and has achieved large-scale production. It has obtained GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status from the U.S. FDA.
Unlike many artificial sweeteners, Allinkle™Allulose provides natural sweetness while acting as a clean label ingredient that consumers trust and prefer.
Health Benefits
Near-Zero Calories
Allinkle™Allulose provides only about 10% of the calories of sucrose (approximately 0.4 kcal/g), making it an ultra-low-calorie natural sweetener suitable for calorie-controlled formulations.
No Blood Sugar Impact
Allinkle™Allulose is barely metabolized by the human body and does not cause significant blood sugar elevation, making it ideal for sugar-controlled product development.
Natural Rare Sugar with Clean Label
As a naturally occurring sugar found in multiple foods, Allinkle™Allulose is not an artificial sweetener, meeting consumer demand for clean label ingredients.
Texture and Browning Functionality
Unlike many high-intensity sweeteners, Allinkle™Allulose undergoes Maillard browning when heated and provides volume, mouthfeel, and crystallization properties similar to sucrose, giving it unique processing value in candy manufacturing.
Application Advantages
Taste Reproduction
Allinkle™Allulose has a sweetness profile close to sucrose with no bitter aftertaste, providing clean and authentic sweetness for candy. This significantly outperforms the taste experience of sugar alcohols such as erythritol.
Processing Versatility
Allinkle™Allulose possesses Maillard browning capability, producing the same color and flavor development as traditional sucrose in high-temperature cooked candies such as caramels and toffees. This is a key processing characteristic that most sugar substitutes cannot achieve.
Volume and Texture Replacement
The crystallization and moisture retention properties of Allinkle™Allulose enable it to provide volume and texture support similar to sucrose for gummies, marshmallows, and other products, avoiding the "mouthfeel void" commonly seen in high-intensity sweetener formulations.
Synergistic Formulation Effects
Allinkle™Allulose can be synergistically combined with erythritol, monk fruit extract, and other sweeteners to achieve complementary sweetness, improve taste, and reduce costs. It is widely used in sugar-free gummy and functional candy formulations.
Real-World Applications
Product Information
Brand: Cocomels | Company: Cocomels
Vegan, sugar-free, dairy-free caramels using coconut milk and Allinkle™Allulose to deliver authentic caramel color, dense texture, and flavor without sugar alcohols.
Key Ingredients
Allinkle™Allulose Application Value
Flavor Synergy Enhancement: Allinkle™Allulose ranks 3rd in the ingredient list and serves as the core sweetener. As a caramel-type candy, traditional formulations rely heavily on the cooking and browning properties of sucrose to develop caramel color and flavor.
Low GI Advantage: Allinkle™Allulose is one of the few sugar substitutes capable of undergoing Maillard browning during high-temperature cooking, making it irreplaceable in sugar-free caramel formulations.
Improved Moisture Retention: Each 18g serving contains only 35kcal, including 3g of Allinkle™Allulose, achieving a clean formula with zero added sugar and zero sugar alcohols while maintaining the dense texture and golden color characteristic of caramels.
Product Information
Brand: My Normal | Company: My Normal Company
Keto-friendly sugar-free jelly featuring lemon, grapefruit, and apple flavors, enriched with postbiotics, 10 billion lactic acid bacteria, and collagen.
Key Ingredients
Allinkle™Allulose Application Value
Accurate Flavor Recreation: Allinkle™Allulose ranks 2nd in the ingredient list, with each 38g serving containing 15g of Allinkle™Allulose, serving as the core of the sweetening system.
Natural Sweetness: The product combines Allinkle™Allulose with resistant maltodextrin to build a dual health foundation of "zero sugar + high fibre": Allinkle™Allulose provides sweetness close to sucrose with minimal calories, while resistant maltodextrin contributes dietary fibre and volume.
Premium Quality: Each serving contains only 45kcal while delivering 15g of dietary fibre and 3g of protein, achieving a fusion of dessert-level taste and functional food nutritional value.
Product Information
Brand: Gummis by Natif | Company: Issavp Group
Clean label sugar-free gummies with natural pineapple and orange flavors, featuring no artificial colors, preservatives, or artificial flavors.
Key Ingredients
Allinkle™Allulose Application Value
Classic Flavor Maintenance: Allinkle™Allulose ranks 1st in the ingredient list, making it the absolute core of the formulation. This ranking reflects the brand's full confidence in the sweetness quality of Allinkle™Allulose.
Cost-Benefit Optimization: Uses Allinkle™Allulose as the base sweetener supplemented by erythritol to fine-tune taste and reduce costs, building a "Allinkle™Allulose-led + erythritol-assisted" dual sweetener system.
Process Stability: Each 16g serving contains only 40kcal, with Allinkle™Allulose replacing sucrose to achieve zero added sugar while leveraging its natural attributes to support comprehensive clean label positioning.
