Crystalline fructose: a key nutritive sweetener in food and beverages
The name fructose literally means ‘fruit sugar’. Holding a low glycaemic index, fructose has a high natural sweetness potency — twice as sweet as glucose. It is one of only three dietary monosaccharides that is absorbed into the bloodstream. Fructose is often used as a way of reducing sugar content without reverting to artificial sweeteners. It provides enhancements to the flavour, appearance and texture of foods like confectionery, as well as boosting freshness and consistency in baked goods.
Popularly used in carbonated drinks, alcoholic beverages and sports nutrition products, fructose also plays an important role as an ingredient in animal feeds, healthcare chemicals and much more.
