Psicose/allulose

D-Psicose (C6H12O6), also known as D-allulose, or simply allulose. Aloxetose belongs to hexose and ketose in classification, and it is the differential isomer corresponding to the carbon at the third position of D-fructose. It has the special function of regulating blood sugar and other benefits to human health and has been evaluated as the most potential sucrose substitute by the American Food Navigation Network.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted a petition for Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for allulose as a sugar substitute in various specified food categories. Because it is absorbed and metabolized differently from other sugars, FDA has exempted allulose from the listing of total and added sugars on the Nutrition and Supplement Facts labels, but requires the labeling of 0.4kcal/g as carbohydrate.
