Description

Fructose CAS NO 30237-26-4 is a simple monosaccharide, also known as fruit sugar, prized for its high sweetness and favorable metabolic properties. This versatile ingredient is a cornerstone for formulators seeking natural, low-glycemic sweetening solutions and functional excipients. It is essential for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries requiring a reliable, high-purity carbohydrate source.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: As a primary sweetener in soft drinks, sports/energy drinks, dairy products, baked goods, and confectionery due to its high sweetness and synergy with other sweeteners.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an excipient in syrups, chewable tablets, and oral solutions for its sweet taste and high solubility, improving patient compliance.
• Nutraceutical & Sports Nutrition: A key component in energy gels, powders, and rehydration drinks for its rapid absorption and energy delivery.
• IV Solutions & Parenteral Nutrition: Serves as a carbohydrate source in sterile injectable formulations for clinical nutrition.
• Diagnostic Reagents: Utilized as a substrate or standard in clinical biochemistry test kits and analyzers.
• Biotechnology & Fermentation: Acts as a defined carbon source in microbial culture media and cell culture applications.
