  1. Fructose By: Aruba Tariq

  2. What is fructose? • Fructose is a monosaccharide • Monosaccharide: sugar that cannot be broken down into simpler sugars • Takes two form: 5 member ring (more common) and linear form • Boiling Point: N/A • Melting Point: • Density: • It doesn’t hydrolyze (decompose by reacting with water) in acidic environments

  3. Fructose and Glucose • Fructose and glucose share the molecular formula C6H12O6 • Structural isomer: same molecular formulas but different structural formulas Glucose: aldohexose (carbon is attached to a hydrogen atom by a single bon and an oxygen ato by a double bond). Frcutose: ketohexose (carbon is attached only to an oxygen atom by a single bond).

  4. Types Of Fructose • Natural Fructose: found in fruits and vegetable About 1-7% in fruits and 3% in vegetables • The concentration of fructose increases in fruits as they ripen and sucrose in the fruits gets broken down into fructose and glucose (gives the fruit a sweeter taste) • Also found in honey: about 40% • Crystalline fructose: obtained from processing corn and suger • 100% pure fructose in crystalline form

  5. Uses of Fructose • Fructose can be converted into hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and turned into: diesel-fuel additives, plastics, and diesel fuel itself • Used as a sweetener (low-calorie sweetener): used by people with diabetes because of its low Glycemic Index Also a possible cause of obesity • Used to increase the shelf life of foods like soft moist cookies and nutrition bars • Can be consumed as high fructose corn syrup (part of glucose is turned into fructose to give it a more sweeter taste)
