UC Davis, Mars Researchers Discover Scalable Production Technique for Low-Calorie Sugar Substitute

Scientists at UC Davis and the Mars Advanced Research Institute have developed a cost-effective method to produce allulose, a low-calorie sugar substitute. Using a modified microorganism, they achieved high-yield and high-purity production, making allulose more affordable and accessible. This breakthrough offers a healthier sugar alternative with minimal impact on blood glucose and insulin levels.
