Key Developments:

• Several government administrations are recognizing allulose as a nutrition product in food and beverages application. For instance, in April 2019, the U.S Food & Drug Administration (FDA) had published a draft guidance allowing allulose to be included in the carbohydrate line of the Nutrition Fact Panel rather than the ‘Added Sugar’ and ‘Sugar’ line of the Nutrition Facts Panel. This will permit the food & beverages manufactures in the U.S. to deliver products with lower calories and sugar by incorporating allulose in their products.

For instance, in June 2018, Savanna Ingredients, a German start-up owned by Pfeifer & Langen IHKG had developed a process for large scale manufacturing of allulose from sugar beets, using enzymes derived from nature.
• Moreover, in September 2019, Blue California, a South California based ingredients manufacturer, announced commercialization of their natural rare sugar allulose produced from natural substrates using a patented bioconversion technology to manufacture a natural and non-GMO sweetener.
