Unveiling the impact of allulose on oral microbiota and biofilm formation via a cariogenic potential assessment platform
These findings demonstrate that allulose supports lower bacterial virulence activity and minimal biofilm formation compared to common dietary sugars while preserving microbial diversity. This highlights its potential as a non-cariogenic sugar alternative with microbiome-conscious benefits and provides ecological insight into how allulose may modulate oral biofilm structure and function.
