Crystalline Fructose is manufactured by the isomerization of corn-derived glucose followed by purification and crystallization. The resulting product is a free-flowing white crystalline powder with very high purity (≥98.0% fructose). It offers several functional advantages over sucrose: enhanced sweetness perception (especially in cold and acidic systems), lower glycemic index, synergistic sweetening effects when blended with other sweeteners, and superior humectant properties. The FDA has confirmed its GRAS status. Crystalline fructose also exhibits excellent flavor enhancement capabilities, particularly for fruit flavors.
