Nutritive Sweetener Crystalline Fructose with High Sweetness Among Natural Sugars

Crystalline Fructose is a monosaccharide extracted from natural fruits and grains or prepared by the isomerization of glucose. It appears as a white crystalline powder, features high sweetness, good flavor, a low glycemic index, strong moisture retention, and is widely used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.

(1) In the food industry: It is used in the production of various candies, chocolates, baked goods, etc. It can increase the sweetness and flavor of products, improve the taste, and also extend the shelf life of food.

(2) In the beverage industry: When added to fruit juices, carbonated beverages, and sports drinks, it can enhance the sweetness and refreshing taste of the beverages. Moreover, when compounded with other sweeteners, it can reduce costs.

(3) In the medical field: As a pharmaceutical excipient, it is used in the manufacture of drugs, which helps to improve the taste and stability of drugs. It can also be used as a nutritional supplement to provide energy for special groups of people.

(4) In the health products industry: It is often used in the production of health products. Since it has a low glycemic index, it is suitable for consumption by people with diabetes, obese people, and other groups. It can meet their needs for sweet foods while reducing the impact on blood sugar levels and body weight.

(1) Providing energy: As a type of carbohydrate, crystalline fructose can be metabolized and decomposed in the body to release energy, providing power for various physiological activities of the human body.

(2) Improving taste: With its high sweetness, it can endow foods and beverages with a good sweet taste, making the taste of products richer and more mellow, and enhancing the quality and flavor of products.

(3) Regulating blood sugar: Compared with glucose, crystalline fructose has a lower glycemic index. While satisfying the human body's demand for sweetness, it has a relatively small impact on blood sugar levels, making it suitable for moderate consumption by special groups such as diabetic patients and obese people.

(4) Moisturizing and preserving freshness: It has strong hygroscopicity, which can absorb and retain the moisture in foods, prevent foods from drying out and deteriorating, and extend the shelf life of foods.

(5) Promoting metabolism: In food processing, crystalline fructose helps to promote certain chemical reactions, such as the Maillard reaction, thus enabling foods to develop an attractive color and a unique flavor. At the same time, it can also participate in the human body's metabolic process and plays a certain role in maintaining the normal physiological functions of the body.
