Fructose 1 article

Fructose is a monosaccharide found naturally in fruit and honey and also present as one half of the sucrose molecule. It can occur as free fructose in foods or as a component of sweetener systems such as high-fructose corn syrup, and it is generally sweeter than glucose on an equal-weight basis. Ingredient and nutrition analysis should distinguish free fructose from total sugars and from sucrose, since several different sugars can contribute to the same Total Sugars value on a label.
