Crystalline fructose,is an ideal healthy sweetener processed from corn. It is estimated to be about 20% sweeter than table sugar, and 5% sweeter than HFCS.

Product's Merit:
1) it is a natural sweetener instead of an artificial sweetener as fructose occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables, as well as honey.
2) it has the highest sweetness among naturally occurring sugars. Its sweetness is 1.3 to 1.8 times that of sucrose. To reach the same sweetness, its usage can be reduced compared with sucrose. Sweetness is its most important characteristic against other advantages. Its sweetness is not fixed, but changes with the temperature. The lower the temperature, the greater the sweetness.
3) the taste buds in the tongue perceive fructose firstly compared with glucose and sucrose, and the perception disappears rapidly. It does not mask the flavor release of glucose and sucrose as its peak of flavor release appears before glucose and sucrose. As a result, the flavor of beverage will not be improved and/or maintained by the addition of crystalline fructose.
4) it is not likely converted to acid by streptococcus in the oral cavity. Dislike sucrose, it will not be utilized by streptococcus to produce glucan, thereby inhibiting the generation of dental caries. Therefore, it can be used as a sweetener in products for children.
5) due to its low glycemic index, the blood glucose rises slowly after ingestion, and requires less insulin than other sugars, which is beneficial to people with type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Product's usage: it is commonly used as a nutritive sweetener in foods and beverages. Also, it can be used as a humectant in cosmetics.
