Crystalline Fructose
Introduction
Crystalline Fructose, the sweetest of sugars, is derived from glucose.Crystalline fructose has high relative sweetness, high solubility, lower water activity and low 
calorie.It is used as a sweetener in food ,beverages and yogurts,bakery products etc.

Application
- Crystalline Fructose has low calorie which will not lead to elevate blood glucose levels, stimulate insulin secretion and could inhibite excessive storage of body fat.
- Once the Crystalline Fructose is dissolved in the food, it will not easy to crystallize.
- The sweetness of Crystalline fructose is 1.8times of sucrose.
- The flavour of crystalline fructose releases before the glucose and sucrose. And it will mask the fragrance of fruit.
- The crystalline fructose has the ability of reducing the freezing point. Therefore, it is widely used in frozen food to enchance the taste.
