Rare sugar

"Dream sugar" rare sugar
As the name suggests, rare sugars are rare sugars that only exist in small amounts in nature, and it is known that there are approximately 50 types. The enzyme that produces one of these rare sugars, allulose, was discovered at Kagawa University, which prompted industry-academia-government collaboration research to begin in Kagawa Prefecture. A research group from the Faculty of Agriculture at Kagawa University subsequently succeeded in developing mass production technology for rare sugars, which led to major advances in rare sugar research, and rare sugars are also known as "dream sugars" because they are expected to be used in a variety of fields, including food, medicine, agriculture, and industry.
