- Benefits
- Highest natural sweetness level: Fruitose® is the sweetest of all nutritive sweeteners. It has on average 1.3 times the sweetness of sucrose in most food applications.
- Flavor enhancement: Its sweetness perception peaks and falls earlier than glucose and sucrose; Fruitose® is characterized by a rapid onset of high intensity sweetness with no lingering effect.
- Lowest glycaemic index (GI) among natural sweeteners: Fruitose® has a GI of 20 (Glucose = 100, Sucrose = 70).
- Slow release energy: Fruitose® is slowly converted to glucose. Sweetener of choice for diabetics, athletes and health conscious people.
- Non-insulin dependent: The metabolism of Fruitose® is markedly different from that of glucose and is largely insulin-independent. Special metabolic pathways lead to reduced glucose and insulin blood plasma levels after Fruitose® consumption.
- Makes non-caloric sweeteners sweeter & more palatable: Sweetness boosted when used with artificial sweeteners (masking effect).
- Greater freezing point depression (compared to sugar)
- Keeps cakes and cookies moist (humectancy)
- High microbial stability
- High solubility
- Lower viscosity
- Lower water activity
- Maillard reaction browning
Applications & Uses

- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Applications
- Jams: Enhanced taste, aroma and fruitiness
- Yogurt & Dairy Desserts : Enhanced taste, aroma, consistency and fruitiness
- Ice Cream & Sorbet : Fruitose® makes ice creams and sorbet softer and easier to spoon out. Reduces freezing point temperatures
- Baked Goods : Rapid browning, keeps product moist, increases shelf life of cookies
- Health & Energy Bars : Slow conversion into glucose, steady stream of energy
- Beverages : Synergy with artificial sweeteners, masks bitter aftertaste. Acid and sweetener synergy in beverages
- Diet & Energy Drinks : Enhances natural flavors, energy booster
- Baby Food : Fruitose® is among the least cariogenic of all natural sweeteners
- Reduced-calorie Food : Fruitose® based food enables a better control of glucose levels
