General description

D-Psicose protects and preserves pancreatic β-islets through the maintenance of hyperglycemia and by the prevention of fat accumulation in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rats. [1]

Application

D-Psicose has been used in a study to assess the bioconversion of D-fructose to D-allose. It has also been used in a study that investigated the characteristics and antioxidant activity of maillard reaction products. [2]

D-Psicose is a hexoketose monosaccharide sweetener, which is a C-3 epimer of D-fructose and is rarely found in nature. It has 70 % relative sweetness but 0.3 % energy of sucrose, and is suggested as an ideal sucrose substitute for

The scarcity, richness, and other important physiological functions of D-psicose make it crucial to increase the yield of D-psicose. The production of D-psicose can be accomplished by D-psicose 3-epimerase (DPEase) from Clostridium bolteae (CbDPEase) catalyzing the substrate D-fructose. Although the
