*NOTE:* There seems to be some confusion about Splenda and allulose. "Splenda" is a both a brand name (the company) and a product name (the yellow packets of sucralose, cut with maltodextrin). The Splenda allulose does not contain sucralose or maltodextrin. Also, researchers found that allulose has no impact on blood glucose and actually suppresses glycemic response of other glycemic carbohydrates when tested with carbohydrates or within a meal. Every keto product I've seen with allulose subtracts it in calculating net carbs. Still, the FDA requires it to be listed under "Total Carbs". Also, if you buy the 3lb bag of Splenda, the price comes down to 42 cents per ounce (a better price than the Keystone). This would elevate Splenda to my preferred allulose brand. amzn.to/3o04rKk

I truly prefer the Splenda brand of allulose~ by far, especially for fresh berries, coleslaw dressing, & anything I'm not heating or baking into something. Has the smoothest, cleanest taste in the 'raw', imho. That being said, I also do like to cook w/it as well~ makes the best homemade caramel anything- candy, sauce, etc. Especially when combined w/Kerrygold butter. Also great for glazes & powdered topping, such as lemon bars.

@@DiamondLil That has not been my experience at all Kathy~ & I was concerned, initially. Another HUGE bonus is no digestive issue/gas/bloating- thrilled about that. Lemon curd is absolutely my favorite as well, so I've spent a good deal of time on it, & w/allulose you can say goodbye to 'crunchy' lemon curd! It works perfectly in citrus curds, caramel, jams, etc~ where you want that kind of gelling effect. Has no "cooling" aftertaste, & is about 70-75% as sweet as cane sugar. For curd, depending on how tart/in or out of season my lemons are, I might add a few drops of liquid stevia to compensate, but usually nothing extra- just the allulose. it will brown quicker, so watch carefully at the end if baking lemon bars, for instance.

The kitchen science video will be focused on behavior with yeast, how/if it caramelizes, and does it hold in a liquid suspension.

Thanks for sharing all of your comparisons!!! I have found that each sweetener has its own negative attributes when baking. I can not use any of them as a 100% replacement. Some will cause an over browning or burning before baked goods are done. Erytritol has a negative stinging sensation on the tongue. Splenda will cause cookies to be more biscuit or scone-like, but it doesn't cause any weird taste. Currently I am using a blend of equal parts allulose, Splenda, and Monk/Erytritol blend. Then if it isn't sweet enough I add some Stevia liquid drops. When my Monk/Erytritol blend runs out, I might not buy it again since even in small amounts I can still detect that weird slight after sting on the tongue of Erythritol. For flour I use Victoria's Keto Kitchen flour blend. I've used the 2.0 lowest carb and whole wheat Einkorn version with slightly more carbs with good success.

I've recently purchased Besti brand powdered monkfruit/allulose blend. It works very well for powdered sweetener without an off taste.

Interesting findings! I've done similar tests with different sweeteners, but not the same sweetener of different brands. I like the (Hoosier Hill brand is what bought) Allulose level of sweetness. You're right, it's mild... but perfect. You really lose the the desire for "super sweet" if you're doing a Ketogenic diet properly. However, most of the people I bake for (mostly those just starting out on Keto) are still looking for really SWEET, but hate the Erythritol "mouthwash" effect. To avoid that, I mix a custom concoction more pleasing to their palates, using multiple sweeteners. Overall, if I could only choose one sweetener, Allulose would be the top dog...& Stevia would be my bottom of the barrel pick (I perceive the bitterness very strongly).

Thanks for this comparison, Steve. I was running out of allulose, so now I know which brand to buy. Will you be including xylitol in your further videos? It's my favorite when I make keto ice cream, so I'd like to know what you think of it as well. And what brand you like most. I noticed there are two types of xylitol - made from non-GMO corn or birch. Would you know which one is the best or which you would recommend? As usual, you're the best!

For stuff that needs to behave like sugar mixed into liquids. I use a 50 / 50 Eyrithitol/Allulose blend. It makes ice cream not too hard not too soft and makes excellent marshmallows. I like stuff around 80 to 90% sweet compared to sugar and find Allulose a little too little sweet so I add in liquid sucralose to make up the difference in sweet. The allulose gives majority of the sweet and the cooking properties and the sucralose just bumps the sweet to what I prefer. Sweeteners is hard for Keto.
@SeriousKeto3 жыл бұрын
That allulose/sucralose blend sounds like it would be awfully close to sugar in terms of taste. I'd never use it in a video, because there are some folks that get pretty worked up over sucralose.

I am looking forward to your next session. I've bought a some allulose to make simple syrup and marshmallows hoping to not have the crystallization. I noticed that if you buy the 12 oz 2 pack on AMAZON the SPLENDA ALLULOSE price per ounce reduced to ($0.69 / Ounce) Total $16.49. So it brings it a little more closer in price to Keystone.

Really looking forward to your baking tests. And ... which one do you rate highest for using in liquid beverages, like coffee and hot coco. As to the LARGE price price difference with the Splenda, maybe we could do some dollar-cost-averaging and mix the Splenda in at 1/3 Spenda and 2/3 of the other top of the remaining 2 sweeteners. I definitely want something that performs and TASTES as close to sugar as possible. Thanks for taking the time and the effort ... and ... Cheers from NE Florida : +)

Great video but the nutrition label for the Splenda/Allulose has 8 grams of carbs for 2 tsp. (8g), that's a big chunk out of my daily 20. Still searching for the 'right' one that tastes good with zero carbs. Right now I do 1/2 pure stevia extract and 1/2 ez-sweetz, tastes okay.

My reservation about the Splenda brand Allulose is that they claim that it can be measured cup for cup with sugar, but if allulose is only 60% as sweet as sugar, how can that be true unless there is something else in the allulose to boost the sweetness?

Please do a solubility test for oils, such as coconut oil. Erythritol is not oil soluble, so for my chocolate keto "bombs" I use allulose. Also, coconut cream ice cream comes to mind, where the product is almost all fat and the "sugars" need to be oil soluble.
