From the health food brand "MyLOHAS" operated by Oizumi Pueruls Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Daikan, Yamato City, Kanagawa Prefecture; CEO: Yuto Ogura), which plans, develops, manufactures, and sells health foods centered on gut health domestically and internationally, we have launched "Allulose," an alternative sweetener that has a sweetness close to sugar but with reduced calories.
Development Background
With the background of increasing demand for dieting and training due to growing health consciousness in recent years, health-conscious dietary habits, such as keeping carbohydrate restrictions and calorie-off meals using alternative sweeteners in mind, have become an everyday occurrence. However, the development team focused on the negative opinions about conventional alternative sweeteners, such as having a "distinctive flavor" or a "strong artificial image," and wanted to propose a "new choice that balances taste and health."
In aiming for a "new choice that balances taste and health," the development team focused on "Allulose," a rare sugar that exists only in trace amounts in the natural world.
Allulose features a natural sweetness close to sugar but with little distinctive aftertaste. Because it can be used without compromising the flavor in a wide range of applications such as beverages and foods, it is an ingredient that is easy to incorporate reasonably into daily diets. In addition, its safety evaluation as a food ingredient and its track record of use have been accumulated, and its ease of incorporation into daily diets was highly evaluated, leading to its adoption.
Furthermore, the development team sought even better taste and decided to blend "fructooligosaccharides." By adding the soft richness of oligosaccharides to the clean sweetness of allulose, a more satisfying finish is achieved.
Also, because it is something used every day, we focused on ease of use, finishing it as a "quick-dissolving" powder type, designed to blend into all everyday scenes, from cold drinks to sweets and heated dishes such as stews.
