Product Technical Details

Product Overview

D-Psicose, also known as Allulose, represents a significant advancement in the field of rare sugars and functional nutraceutical ingredients. As a C-3 epimer of D-fructose, this monosaccharide offers unique metabolic properties that distinguish it from traditional sweeteners. Our facility specializes in the production of high-purity D-Psicose suitable for rigorous biochemical research and commercial nutraceutical formulations. We adhere to strict manufacturing protocols to ensure consistency and reliability for our global partners.

The demand for low-calorie sweetening solutions has driven extensive interest in D-Psicose due to its minimal impact on blood glucose levels. Our supply chain is optimized to deliver bulk quantities while maintaining the integrity of this sensitive carbohydrate structure. Clients rely on our expertise for sourcing material that meets international quality standards for both laboratory investigation and product development.

Chemical Properties and Structure

Chemically defined as D-ribo-2-Ketohexose, this compound possesses a molecular formula of C6H12O6 with a molecular weight of approximately 180.16 g/mol. The substance typically presents as a white to light yellow crystalline powder when processed to high purity levels, although it can exist in syrup form depending on the concentration and hydration state. The specific rotation and thermal stability are critical parameters monitored during our production process.

Understanding the physical characteristics is essential for proper handling. The material exhibits a melting point around 109 degrees Celsius and requires controlled storage conditions to prevent degradation. Our technical team ensures that each batch retains its structural integrity from synthesis to final packaging, providing a reliable baseline for your analytical procedures.

Quality Specifications

Quality assurance is the cornerstone of our manufacturing philosophy. Every batch of D-Psicose undergoes comprehensive testing to verify compliance with our factory standards. The following table outlines the key analytical parameters and typical test results observed in our recent production runs.

These specifications demonstrate our commitment to delivering material with exceptional purity and minimal impurities. The low residue on ignition and loss on drying values indicate a highly refined product suitable for sensitive applications.

Industrial Applications

D-Psicose serves multiple roles across the nutraceutical and research sectors. In food technology, it functions as a bulk sweetener with reduced caloric content. For research laboratories, it acts as a critical reagent for studying carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme kinetics. The versatility of this molecule allows it to be integrated into various formulation guides where sugar reduction is a primary objective.

Our clients utilize this ingredient as a drop-in replacement for sucrose in specific contexts, leveraging its performance benchmark capabilities. Whether developing new dietary supplements or conducting fundamental biochemical assays, the consistency of our supply supports uninterrupted workflow and reliable data generation.

Storage and Handling

To maintain optimal quality, we recommend storing D-Psicose in a cool, dry environment between 2 to 8 degrees Celsius. Proper sealing is necessary to prevent moisture absorption, which could affect the physical appearance and assay values. Safety data sheets are provided with every shipment to ensure compliant handling procedures within your facility.
