Product Description:
Crystalline fructose is a high-purity, naturally derived monosaccharide produced from corn or sucrose via hydrolysis. It features intense sweetness, pleasant taste, a subtle fruity aroma, and a low caloric value. Crystalline fructose is metabolized faster than glucose and is easily absorbed by the body, offering a low glycemic index. It is ideal for energy supplementation for individuals with impaired glucose metabolism or liver function and is less likely to cause dental caries, making it suitable for diabetics, obese individuals, and children. Crystalline fructose has become a preferred ingredient for beverage manufacturers and health food producers worldwide.
