Emkhakheni wokusetshenziswa kokudla, i-D-alloulose ithathwa njengesinye sezithako ezingcono kakhulu ze-sucrose ngenxa yobumnandi bayo obuphezulu, ukuncibilika okuhle, okuqukethwe kwekhalori ephansi, kanye nokusabela kwe-hypoglycemic. Ukwengeza i-D-alloulose ekudleni akugcini nje ngokukhuphula ikhono layo le-gelling, kodwa futhi kubhekana nokusabela kwe-Maillard ngeprotheni yokudla ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukunambitheka kwayo. Uma kuqhathaniswa ne-D-fructose kanye ne-D-glucose, i-D-aloulose ingakhiqiza imikhiqizo yokusabela ye-antioxidant ye-Maillard, igcine izinga lokulwa ne-antioxidant lokudla isikhathi eside. Ngo-2011, i-D-alloulose yaqinisekiswa ukuthi iphephile yi-FDA futhi ingasetshenziswa njengesengezo emikhakheni yokudla neyokudla.
