What is Organic Fructose Syrup?
Organic Fructose Syrup (also known as High-Fructose Corn Syrup or Liquid Fructose) is a viscous, plant-based sweetener derived from certified organic sources such as corn, agave, apples, or chicory. With a glycemic index (GI) of 19 and ≥77% fructose content, this amber-colored syrup offers 1.2-1.8x the sweetness of sucrose, making it perfect for low-GI, reduced-calorie, and moisture-retentive food applications.
Key Highlights
- Natural Sweetness:
- 1.2-1.8x Sweeter Than Sucrose: Reduce sugar content while enhancing flavor intensity.
- Low Glycemic Impact (GI 19): Safe for diabetics and keto-friendly diets.
- Functional Advantages:
- Humectant & Binding Agent: Extends shelf life in baked goods and granola bars.
- Cold Process Compatibility: Ideal for no-bake snacks and ready-to-drink beverages.
- Clean & Certified: USDA Organic, EU Organic, non-GMO, vegan, gluten-free.

FAQs
Q: How does fructose syrup differ from HFCS?
A: HFCS contains 42-55% fructose; our Liquid Fructose has ≥77% fructose with no synthetic processing.
Q: Is it suitable for vegan products?
A: Yes! Derived entirely from plants and free from animal byproducts.
Q: How to substitute for honey or maple syrup?
A: Use 1:1 by volume but reduce added water in recipes due to higher sweetness.
Q: Does it crystallize during storage?
A: No – stabilized to prevent crystallization even at low temperatures.
