What is the idea behind SAVANNA?

SAVANNA Ingredients GmbH is a spin-off company of Pfeifer & Langen GmbH & Co. KG. SAVANNA develops, produces, and sells functional carbohydrates. Functional carbohydrates are sugars and other carbohydrates that exhibit a wide spectrum of special properties. The SAVANNA product portfolio currently comprises crystalline and liquid allulose.

Allulose is a simple sugar with a calorific value between 0.2 and 0.4 kcal/g. In addition, allulose features similar properties to those found in conventional household sugar (sucrose). Therefore, Allulose can be used in a range of applications and offers a low-calorie sugar alternative.

How is allulose produced?

We obtain allulose through an enzymatic reaction of fructose. This reaction is reversible – simultaneous conversion of fructose into allulose and allulose into fructose. Therefore, both sugars are present in the enzymatic balance. Afterward, allulose needs to be separated from fructose. The fructose-rich stream obtained from this process is concentrated and returned to the enzymatic reaction; the allulose-rich stream is also brought to the desired concentration and then either crystallized or purified to the desired quality with an additional step.
