Product Overview

 

Crystalline Fructose (D-Fructose) is a natural monosaccharide, white crystalline powder, freely soluble in water. Its sweetness is 1.5–1.8 times higher than sucrose, and sweetness increases under low temperature, with clean fruity taste to boost fruit flavor. It features low GI value and good moisture retention, supporting Maillard browning in bakery items. Widely used in beverages, sports drinks, dairy, confectionery, bakery, frozen desserts and functional foods. Oriental Tongxiang food grade crystalline fructose has purity over 99%, complying with FCC and GB standards.

Key Benefits of Crystalline Fructose

 

 

  • Higher sweetness, lower dosage

Fructose is 1.2–1.8 times sweeter than sucrose. Less quantity is required to reach your target sweetness, which helps reduce your formulation cost.

  • Enhanced sweetness under cold conditions

Oriental Tongxiang crystalline fructose sweetness gets stronger at low temperatures.

It works perfectly for cold drinks, ice cream and other frozen desserts.

  • Low GI for health-focused formulations

It causes mild blood glucose response. An ideal sweetener option for functional and health food products.

  • Good moisture retention to extend shelf life

t retains moisture well, keeps bakery items soft and stable, and prolongs the shelf life of your baked goods.

  • Enables golden colour via Maillard browning

It supports Maillard reaction during baking, generating an appealing golden hue for bakery products naturally.

  • Clean fruity flavour & fast cold-water solubility

It has a pure fruity taste and will not cover the original fruit flavour of your end products. It dissolves rapidly even in cold water.

 

 

Application Selection Guide

 

 

Application

Typical Addition Level

Main Contribution

Key Formulation Consideration

Cold beverages & fruit drinks

5–12%

Boost fruit flavor; higher sweetness at low temperature; fast cold-water dissolution

Fructose accelerates Maillard reaction under acidic & heated conditions; control sterilization temperature/time

Ice cream & frozen desserts

6–10%

Improve mouthfeel; enhance sweetness at freezing temperature; reduce ice crystal formation

Watch total solids; balance with other sweeteners to avoid excessive sweetness

Bakery products

3–8%

Moisture retention; support Maillard browning for golden crust; keep crumb soft

Fructose is hygroscopic. Adjust water activity to prevent stickiness

Confectionery & hard candy

5–15%

Clean fruity taste; lower freezing point; good humectant effect

Reduce total moisture; prevent sticking during storage

Yogurt & dairy alternatives

4–9%

Enhance fruit notes; low GI; mild sweet profile

Fructose may accelerate acid development; test shelf stability

Energy bars & functional snacks

4–10%

Maintain soft texture; low glycemic response; mask bitter taste

Limit total sugar if targeting low-sugar claims

Jam, fruit filling & preserves

7–14%

Intensify natural fruit flavour; moisture control

Combine with pectin; check pH setting for gelling performance

FAQ

 

Q: What are the differences between crystalline fructose and sucrose?

A: Crystalline fructose is 1.5–1.8 times sweeter than sucrose, so a lower dosage can reach the same sweetness. Its sweetness increases at low temperatures, making it ideal for cold beverages and frozen foods. Fructose has a low glycemic index and causes milder blood glucose response compared with sucrose. Besides, fructose contributes to Maillard browning and has better moisture retention performance in bakery products.

Q: Is Crystalline Fructose Low GI?

A: Yes. It has a low glycemic index, causes mild blood glucose fluctuation, widely used in health and functional food.

Q: What is the main raw material of your crystalline fructose?

A: Standard grade is made from corn starch. Non-GMO grade is available upon request. Alternative source from sugar beet is negotiable for special orders.

Q: Is crystalline fructose clean label?

A: Yes. Crystalline fructose is recognized as a clean-label ingredient. It is a naturally occurring monosaccharide with simple production process, no artificial sweeteners, colors or preservatives added. It can be listed simply as Crystalline Fructose or Fructose on ingredient labels, which meets clean label requirements for most markets.

Q: Can I get free crystalline fructose samples?

A: Yes, we provide free samples. You may use your own FedEx account for shipment, or settle the courier cost with us in advance. The sample freight fee can be deducted from your next formal order.
