Crystalline Fructose Fructose is a hexose monosaccharide. It is an organic compound. Its general chemical formula is C6H12O6. The molar mass of fructose is 180.16 g/mol. The melting point is 103°C. It is crystalline, water-soluble, and sweet tasting.Fructose is quicker to absorb moisture and slower to release it to the environment than sucrose.Fructose is an excellent humectant and retains moisture for a long period of time even at low relative humidity (RH). Therefore, fructose can contribute a more palatable texture, and longer shelf life to the food products in which it is used. Fructose Specification…
