What is it?
Liquid fructose is a syrupy sweetener that is primarily composed of fructose, a type of simple sugar (monosaccharide). It’s commonly used in the food and drink industry due to its sweetness and ability to blend well with other ingredients.
Characteristics: Fructose Liquid is a transparent water like to yellow syrup that possesses a bland odour with a clean sweet taste.
Functionalities
- Sweetener: Liquid fructose is sweeter than sucrose and glucose, allowing manufacturers to use less of it to achieve the desired sweetness level in products.
- Humectant: It helps maintain moisture in baked goods, keeping them soft and preventing them from drying out, extending their shelf life.
- Viscosity Control: Provides desirable viscosity in syrups, beverages, and other liquid products, contributing to a smooth and consistent texture.
- Browning and Caramelisation: Fructose caramelises at a lower temperature than sucrose, allowing for more controlled browning in cooking and baking.
- Energy Source: Provides a rapid source of energy, which is why it is often used in sports drinks and energy bars.
