Product Overview

Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is a natural monosaccharide widely present in fruits and honey. With CAS number 57-48-7 and European food additive code E955, food-grade fructose is refined and purified from natural starch sources. It is a healthy and high-quality sweetener widely recognized in the global food industry.

Compared with sucrose, fructose features higher sweetness, lower glycemic index, fresh and pure taste without greasy feeling. It has excellent water solubility, low-temperature sweetness performance and stable processing adaptability. It is suitable for healthy sugar-reduced food, cold drink formulas and high-end food manufacturing, fully complying with international food safety standards. It can also be used in other industries as auxiliary raw materials.

 

Character

1. Higher Sweetness & Better Taste: Fructose provides clean, fresh and natural fruit sweetness, 50% sweeter than sucrose. It avoids the heavy, greasy sweetness of table sugar and improves the overall flavor of finished food.

2. Low Glycemic Index, Healthy & Safe:As a low-GI natural sugar, fructose is slowly absorbed by the human body, avoiding sharp blood sugar spikes. It is the preferred raw material for sugar-reduced, healthy and functional food products.

3. Outstanding Low-Temperature Sweetness: Fructose becomes sweeter at low temperatures, making it particularly suitable for cold beverages, ice cream, frozen desserts and cold-processed food, maintaining stable flavor in low-temperature environments.

4. Good Solubility & Processing Stability: It dissolves quickly without precipitation or crystallization. It adapts to various food production processes including high-temperature sterilization, blending and freezing, ensuring stable finished product quality.

 

Main Application

1. Beverage Industry: Widely used in carbonated drinks, fruit juices, energy drinks, iced tea and functional beverages. It enhances fresh taste, reduces sugar usage and improves beverage mouthfeel.

2. Confectionery & Dessert Industry: Applied in candy, chocolate, jam, ice cream, yogurt and frozen desserts. It maintains soft texture, prevents sugar crystallization and improves flavor layering.

3. Bakery & Pastry Industry: Used in cakes, breads, pastries and moon cakes. It locks moisture, delays aging, keeps products soft, and optimizes surface color and taste.

4. Healthy & Functional Food: Suitable for sugar-free, low-sugar, fitness meal replacement and health food, serving as a safe and healthy natural sweetening substitute.

5. Other Applications:  fructose can also be used in pharmaceutical formulations and cosmetic raw materials as a flavoring agent and humectant.
