CAS 57-48-7: Fructose

FRUCTOSE CRS

Topiramate impurity E CRS

Chemically pure fructose in solid form

D-Fructose

D-Fructose (D-arabino-hexulose) , also known as D-(-)-Fructose or D-(-)-Levulose, is classified as a member of the Monosaccharides.

D-Fructose

Fructose is used commercially in foods and beverages. It increases starch viscosity more rapidly and achieves a higher final viscosity than sucrose. It has all the fiber squeezed out of it and so the fructose is easily absorbed into the bloodstream. High-fructose-corn syrup is used in frozen products.

D-Fructose (Fru) is the most common reducing keto-hexose and is often known as levulose, arabino-hexulose, fruit sugar (Collins, 2006). In an aqueous solution, fructose exhibits mutarotation (approx., 70-75% β-pyranose, 20-23% β-furanose, 5% α-furanose, 2% α-pyranose, 0.7% open chain) (Angyal, 1984). Sucrose from sugar cane and sugar beet is made up of 50% fructose and is found in many fruits and vegetables; it is the predominant sugar in apples, grapes, oranges and watermelon, as well as comprising of up to half of the total sugars in honey. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) containing around 50% fructose is an important food ingredient produced from glucose syrup by the action of the enzyme glucose isomerase (Hanover, 1993). However, dietary sugars including fructose, have long been implicated in the epidemic of obesity. Evidence to link the relation of foods and beverages containing fructose with overweight or obesity has recently been obtained (Zurbau, 2020).
