Question 1

Is this allulose non gmo?

Accepted Answer

From a different review of 100% allulose sweetener: There is essentially no non-GMO corn in the world. It is produced from corn because the US government heavily subsidizes the production of corn. Allulose is a natural sugar (psicose) made commercially from high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) derived from the starches in corn. A GMO enzyme is used to convert the corn starch to glucose, another GMO enzyme is used to convert the glucose to fructose, and a 3rd GMO enzyme is used to convert the fructose to psicose (allulose). The enzymes are produced in transgenic bacteria or yeast and immobilized to a solid surface in a reactor for the conversion. While the enzymes are from transgenic (GMO) sources, they are not considered GMO since they contain no DNA. Allulose is not labeled as GMO, because it is a natural product with no GMO DNA contained within the product, that does not mean that its origins are free of GMO. So the question is how much of an anti-GMO zealot are you? Proteins (enzymes) and sugars (glucose, fructose, psicose) contain no DNA, hence are not required to be called GMO. These sugars are generally considered Halal and Kosher certified, if produced in a Halal and Kosher compliant facility. If you are a diabetic, like me, allulose is a God-send, and as a PhD biological engineer that has done genetic engineering and knows the processes involved in it's commercial manufacture, I have zero concerns about the GMO origins to my health and well being. My only concern is dependence on monoculture agriculture which is susceptible to natural blights (remember the Irish potato famine?). see less

Question 2

Does this recrystalize in canning

Accepted Answer

No. Allulose does not recrystallize

Question 3

Is this chemically manufactured?   If not, from what is it derived?   Is it non-gmo?  Thanks.

Accepted Answer

According to Scientists,  Allulose is a monosaccharide also known as psicose, is a rare sugar. It’s found naturally in dried fruits like jackfruit, figs and raisins, but only in small quantities which makes it difficult to extract from its original source. Allulose is about 70% as sweet as sucrose, tastes just like it and even has the same chemical formula (albeit the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are arranged differently). Gram for gram, allulose has approximately 90% fewer calories than sucrose. It’s somewhat hard to find in food products at the moment, but that may change in the future

Question 4

Can someone tell me whats under the bag? Lol

Accepted Answer

I don't know what is under the bag,but ,I know the sugar has no after taste,it is more like a powder though,and you need to use double what you used to for coffee.
