In 2013 Korea Matsutani launched a dessert business aimed at general customers and coffee shops, and especially in this year plans to introduce new concept of premium dessert applying ‘Rare Sugar Syrup(RSS)’.
RSS is a glucose syrup containing rare sugars (D-Allulose) which are monosaccharides existing in small quantities in nature and rare sugars have a special physiology function which is to reduce body fat without giving up sweetness. The taste of RSS is very similar to sugar. For these reasons, RSS is a big issue in Japan already and is expected to play an active part in not only dessert but also beverage and bakery.
