Description

Fructose CAS NO 139686-85-4 is a high-purity, naturally occurring monosaccharide, also known as fruit sugar, prized for its superior sweetness and functional properties. This product is essential for formulators seeking a clean-label, low-glycemic alternative to sucrose and other sweeteners. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Food & Beverage Sweetener: Primary sweetener in reduced-calorie and diabetic-friendly foods, soft drinks, sports/energy drinks, and baked goods.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a sweetening agent and taste-masker in syrups, chewable tablets, and oral liquid formulations.
• Nutraceutical & Sports Nutrition: Key component in isotonic beverages, recovery gels, and nutritional supplements for rapid energy delivery.
• Flavor & Texture Modifier: Enhances fruit flavors, reduces water activity for preservation, and improves mouthfeel and browning in processed foods.
• IV Solutions & Dialysates: Serves as an energy source in parenteral nutrition and as an osmotic agent in peritoneal dialysis solutions.
• Biotechnology & Fermentation: Utilized as a defined carbon source in microbial culture media and fermentation processes.
