D-Psicose CAS 551-68-8

1. D-Psicose is a rare sugar used as a low-calorie sweetener in foods and beverages, providing approximately 70% of the sweetness of sucrose with minimal caloric contribution .
2. D-Psicose CAS 551-68-8 functions as a sugar substitute in baked goods, confectionery, and dairy products, where it contributes to browning reactions and texture development similar to sucrose .
3. D-Psicose is employed in research studies investigating metabolic health, where it has been shown to suppress postprandial blood glucose levels and reduce fat accumulation in animal models .
4. Researchers utilize D-psicose as a reference standard in carbohydrate analysis and as a building block for the synthesis of rare sugar derivatives for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications .

1. D-Psicose must be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment at room temperature, protected from light and moisture .
2. D-Psicose CAS 551-68-8 is classified as non-hazardous under normal handling conditions according to GHS criteria, but may cause mild skin, eye, and respiratory tract irritation .
3. Personnel should wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles with side-shields, and protective clothing when handling this substance, avoiding formation of dust and aerosols .
4. Keep D-Psicose CAS 551-68-8 away from incompatible materials such as strong oxidizing agents; the compound is hygroscopic and should be stored in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption .

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure adequate ventilation, and wear full personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and suitable dust respirator when D-Psicose is released .
2. Collect  D-Psicose CAS 551-68-8 by sweeping or vacuuming without creating dust using non-sparking tools, and place into suitable closed containers for disposal .
3. Avoid creating dust clouds during cleanup to prevent respiratory exposure; prevent D-psicose from entering drains or water courses .
4. Dispose of collected material according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations; the substance is considered non-hazardous for transport (DOT, IATA, IMDG) .

1. D-Psicose is not classified as highly flammable but may decompose under fire conditions, emitting toxic fumes including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide .
2. Use D-Psicose CAS 551-68-8 water spray, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam to extinguish fires involving the product .
3. Firefighters should wear self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH approved, and full protective gear when handling burning D-Psicose due to hazardous decomposition gases generated by thermal decomposition .
4. During combustion, may emit irritant and toxic fumes; contain fire runoff to prevent environmental contamination .
