Produktinformation

• Name: D-Fructose

• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: D-Fructose (Fru) is the most common reducing keto-hexose and is often known as levulose, arabino-hexulose, fruit sugar (Collins, 2006). In an aqueous solution, fructose exhibits mutarotation (approx., 70-75% β-pyranose, 20-23% β-furanose, 5% α-furanose, 2% α-pyranose, 0.7% open chain) (Angyal, 1984). Sucrose from sugar cane and sugar beet is made up of 50% fructose and is found in many fruits and vegetables; it is the predominant sugar in apples, grapes, oranges and watermelon, as well as comprising of up to half of the total sugars in honey. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) containing around 50% fructose is an important food ingredient produced from glucose syrup by the action of the enzyme glucose isomerase (Hanover, 1993). However, dietary sugars including fructose, have long been implicated in the epidemic of obesity. Evidence to link the relation of foods and beverages containing fructose with overweight or obesity has recently been obtained (Zurbau, 2020).
