About Fructose

Fructose is a simple sugar found naturally in fruit and other foods, and is also sold as a purified food ingredient. As a standalone ingredient it is typically a white crystalline powder with a sweet taste. It dissolves in water and is used as a sweetener in foods and drinks; its role in a recipe depends on the amount and on the other ingredients.

Commercial food-grade fructose is available in dry crystalline form and may also be present in liquid preparations or mixtures. These forms are not identical to whole fruit, which contains water and other components. The catalogue name identifies the sugar but does not specify its source, purity or physical form.
