COFCO TECH stated at the investor communication meeting that on July 2nd, the National Health Commission's website officially announced the recognition of enzyme production processes and products as new food materials. The substantial significance lies in COFCO TECH's production of allulose gaining compliance status in China, making it the only company currently approved for producing allulose using a specific enzyme method as a new food material. In terms of foreign product applications, allulose was initially mainly used in the beverage industry, followed by the baking industry, and finally in dairy products, ice cream, and others. As a natural functional sugar, allulose has more market potential compared to artificially synthesized sweeteners and will increasingly be favored by users who choose natural, healthy, nutritious, and low-calorie food and beverages. The growth potential for allulose is highly promising
