Fructose is a natural sugar found in fruits and honey, widely used in the food and beverage industry as a sweetener. Known for its intense sweetness, which is 1.2 times that of sugar, it enhances the flavor profile of soft drinks, baked goods, and processed foods while allowing for reduced sugar formulations.
Fructose has a low glycemic index compared to sucrose, making it a suitable choice for diabetic-friendly products. Its high solubility and ability to retain moisture contribute to improved texture and shelf life in various applications.
As a natural and versatile sweetener, Fructose supports product development in health-conscious and functional food categories.
