這篇文章整理了 2009 年至 2015 年間

allulose from 2009 to 2015. And here are some summaries of this article: 1.Allulose is a

關於阿洛酮糖的同行評審研究 。以下是本文的一些摘要： 1.阿洛酮糖是一種

rare sugar with the same chemical formula as fructose. 2.It delivers few calories because

罕見的糖類，它與果糖具有相同化學式。 2.它提供的卡路里很少，因為

the majority of the allulose you consume will not be metabolized and will be eliminated

根據 2010 年發表在 Journal Metabolism 上的研究，

in the urine without being used as fuel according to research published in 2010 on Journal Metabolism.

您攝入的大部分誘惑糖不會被代謝，而是會從尿液中被排出 ，而不會被用作能量。

3.Allulose has been shown in animal and human trials to lower blood sugar levels, improve

3.阿洛酮糖已在動物和人體試驗中顯示可降低血糖水平，提高

insulin sensitivity, and protect insulin-producing pancreatic beta cells. 4. Allulose may promote

胰島素敏感性，並保護產生胰島素的胰腺β細胞。 4. 阿洛酮糖可促進

fat burning, reduce the risk of fatty liver disease and help prevent obesity.

脂肪燃燒，降低患脂肪肝的風險，並有助於預防肥胖。

There is an especially interesting study in 2012  published in the Journal of food science.

2012 年發表在《食品科學雜誌》上有一項特別有趣的研究。

In this study, obese rats were fed a high-fat diet with supplements of either allulose,

在這項研究中，給肥胖大鼠餵食含有阿洛酮糖、蔗糖或赤蘚糖醇

sucrose, or erythritol for eight weeks. Like allulose, erythritol provides virtually no

補充劑的高脂肪飲食 八週。與阿洛酮糖一樣，赤蘚糖醇幾乎不提供

calories and does not raise blood sugar or insulin levels. Nevertheless, the rats given

卡路里，也不會升高血糖或胰島素水平。儘管如此，與

allulose gained less belly fat than the rats fed erythritol or sucrose. This suggests allulose

餵食赤蘚糖醇或蔗糖的大鼠相比，餵食阿洛酮糖的大鼠增加的腹部脂肪更少。這表明阿洛酮糖

might not only be a sugar substitute, it might actually help to prevent fat accumulation.

可能不僅是一種糖替代品，它實際上可能有助於防止脂肪堆積。

However, since most of those studies are based on animal models or small-scale human trials,

然而，由於這些研究大多基於動物模型或小規模人體試驗，

more high-quality human research is still needed. So here's the question: What is the catch?

因此仍需要更多高品質的人體研究。那麼問題來了：是不是有什麼隱藏風險呢？

It's just too good to be true, a real sugar, taste like sugar but with virtually

世界上哪有這麼好的事？一種真正的糖，嘗起來像糖，但幾乎

no calories, and at the same time might promote fat burning? Are you kidding me, it must have

不含卡路里，同時可能會促進脂肪燃燒？你在開玩笑吧，它一定有

完全沒有上述問題。但需要注意的是，阿洛酮糖的甜度只有

，也可能因此會增加成品的體積。我搜索了一些

food science researches on the use of allulose as baking sugar and found some interesting studies.

關於使用阿洛酮糖作為烘焙糖的食品科學研究，並發現了一些有趣的研究。

A study published in the Journal of Food Processing and Preservation in 2020,

2020年發表在Journal of Food Processing and Preservation上的一項研究，

baked 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% allulose pound cakes, and a 100% sucrose pound cake as control group

烘焙25%、50%、75%和100%的阿洛酮磅蛋糕，以及一個100%的蔗糖磅蛋糕作為對照組

, and found that as the proportion of allulose increases, the crumb of pound cake

，發現隨著阿洛酮糖的比例增加，磅蛋糕表皮

caramelizes faster, but there is no significant difference in the texture of these five-pound cakes.

焦糖化得更快，但這些五種磅蛋糕的質地沒有顯著差異。

Another study published in the journal “LWT” in 2021 compared cupcakes made with

2021 年發表在《LWT》雜誌上的另一項研究比較了用 阿洛酮糖和蔗糖

allulose and sucrose got similar results. Interestingly, this study also found that

製成的杯子蛋糕也得到了類似的結果。有趣的是，這項研究還發現，

allulose cakes lost water slower in the baking process than sucrose cakes, and it usually

與蔗糖蛋糕相比 ， 阿洛酮糖蛋糕在烘焙過程中失水速度更慢，並且通常

takes a longer time to bake to achieve the same texture. But at the same time, allulose

需要更長的時間烘焙才能達到相同的質地。但同時，阿洛酮糖

cake is also easier to burn because it caramelizes faster. So for the bakers, managing the baking

蛋糕也更容易燃燒，因為它焦糖化得更快。所以對於烘焙師來說，

temperature and time will be a challenge when using allulose as sugar, but if it is handled

在使用阿洛酮糖作為糖分時 ，控制烘焙 溫度和時間將是一個挑戰，但如果處理

well, the taste and texture of the finished product can be very similar to ordinary cakes.

得當，成品的口感和質地可以與普通蛋糕非常相似。

Okay, let's recap. Today we learned that Allulose is a rare sugar with the same chemical formula

好的，讓我們回顧一下。今天我們了解到阿洛酮糖是一種稀有的糖，其化學式

as fructose but it delivers few calories because the majority of the allulose you consume will

與果糖 相同 ，但它提供的卡路里很少，因為您攝入的大部分阿洛酮糖

not be metabolized. Allulose might potentially help lowering blood sugar levels, improving

不會被代謝。阿洛酮糖可能有助於降低血糖水平、提高

insulin sensitivity, and promoting fat burning. It's classified as generally recognized as safe

胰島素敏感性和促進脂肪燃燒。它 被 FDA 歸類為普遍認為安全的

by FDA and we actually haven't found any serious side effects yet other than some abdominal discomfort.

，除了一些腹部不適之外，我們實際上還沒有發現任何嚴重的副作用。 然而， 仍需要

However,  more high-quality research to confirm the long-term safety of

更多高品質的研究來證實 阿洛酮糖 的長期安全性

allulose is still needed. Allulose behaves very similarly to regular sugar when used

。用於烘焙時，阿洛酮糖的反應與普通糖非常相似

in baking. However, it tends to caramelize faster and is more likely to burn. If you

。然而，它往往焦糖化得更快，更容易燃燒。如果您
