What is Organic Fructose Syrup?
Organic Fructose Syrup is meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically certified fruits, typically corn or other plant sources that undergo an enzymatic process to convert glucose into fructose. This results in a clear, viscous liquid sweetener with a higher relative sweetness compared to sucrose (table sugar) and excellent solubility. The organic certification ensures that the raw materials are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
As a monosaccharide, fructose is absorbed differently by the body than glucose and offers unique functional benefits in various food and beverage formulations. Its ability to enhance fruit flavors, improve texture, and maintain moisture makes it a versatile and sought-after ingredient for a wide range of applications where a premium, natural sweetener is desired.

FAQs
Q: Is Organic Fructose Syrup suitable for vegan products?
A: Yes, our Organic Fructose Syrup is derived entirely from plant-based organic fruit sources and processed without animal products, making it inherently vegan.
Q: How does Organic Fructose Syrup compare to Organic Cane Sugar in terms of sweetness?
A: Organic Fructose Syrup is generally 1.2 to 1.4 times sweeter than organic cane sugar (sucrose) on a dry weight basis. This means you may be able to use less syrup to achieve the same level of sweetness, potentially impacting calorie content or formulation costs.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities of Organic Fructose Syrup?
A: Our Organic Fructose Syrup typically has a shelf life of 12-24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place (ideally below 75°F/24°C), away from direct sunlight, in its original sealed containers. Proper storage is crucial to prevent crystallization or degradation.
Q: Can Organic Fructose Syrup be used in “sugar-free” or “reduced sugar” claims?
A: While fructose is a natural sugar, it still contributes calories. Its higher sweetness intensity can help reduce the total amount of sugar used in a product, which may support “reduced sugar” claims if certain criteria are met. It cannot be used for “sugar-free” claims.
Q: Does Organic Fructose Syrup crystallize easily?
A: Fructose has a high solubility, which helps prevent crystallization. Its humectant properties also contribute to maintaining a soft texture in confectionery and baked goods by preventing water activity from becoming too low.
