Fructose
Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. It is one of the three most important blood sugars, alongside glucose and galactose. With the CAS number 57-48-7 and a purity of ≥98% as determined by HPLC, fructose is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a sweetener, offering distinct advantages due to its low glycemic index and intense sweetness.
