Fructose is a type of sugar known as a monosaccharide

Crystalline Fructose, the crystalline form of fructose, a food additive made from corn or sugar (sugar cane), is commonly used as a nutritive sweetener in foods and beverages. Due to its high sweetness among natural sugars, low Glycemic index and low calories, crystalline fructose is used commonly in health food.

product details

Introduction

● Fructose is a type of sugar known as a monosaccharide.

● Like other sugars, fructose provides four calories per gram.

● Fructose is also known as "fruit sugar" because it primarily occurs naturally in many fruits. It also occurs naturally in other plant foods such as honey, sugar beets, sugar cane and vegetables.

● Fructose is the sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate and is 1.2-1.8 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar).

● Fructose has a low impact on blood glucose levels.

There are many different types of sugars, some of which are more common than others. Fructose is a type of sugar known as a monosaccharide, or a "single" sugar, like glucose. Monosaccharides can bond together to form disaccharides, the most common of which is sucrose, or "table sugar." Sucrose is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. Fructose and glucose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6) but have different molecular structures, which makes fructose 1.2-1.8 times sweeter than sucrose. In fact, fructose is the sweetest naturally occurring carbohydrate. In nature, fructose is most often found as part of sucrose. Fructose is also found in plants as a monosaccharide, but never without the presence of other sugars.

Application

★ Characterstics: Fructose is white crystallized powder,sweet taste,tasting twice as sweet ae sucrose,and tastes particularly sweet when cold or in solution,it is sweetest glucide.

Crystalline Fructose is a processed sweetener derived from corn that is almost entirely fructose. It consists of at least 98% pure fructose, any remainder being water and trace minerals. It is used as a sweetener in the likes of beverages and yogurts, where it substitutes for high-fructose corn syrup(HFCS) and table sugar. Crystalline fructose is estimated to be about 20 percent sweeter than table sugar,and 5% sweeter than HFCS.

★ Food industry: fructose replaces sucrose in canned fruit and fruit preserves together with 20-30% maltose syrup,also it is can be used in carbonated beverages as only sweetener or in combination sucrose and with artificial sweeter such as saccharin.

★ Other applications: Bread and cakes,Creams,Marmalade,Chocolate,soft drinks,etc
