  2. Dehydration reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehydration_reaction

    Two monosaccharides, such as glucose and fructose, can be joined together (to form saccharose) using dehydration synthesis. The new molecule, consisting of two monosaccharides, is called a disaccharide.

  3. List of sugars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sugars

    High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) [1] – made from corn starch, containing from 55% fructose [3] to 90% fructose. High maltose corn syrup – mainly maltose, not as sweet as high fructose corn syrup; Honey [1] – consists of fructose and glucose; Inositol [2] – naturally occurring sugar alcohol. Commercial products are purified from corn.

  4. Inverted sugar syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup

    Dense inverted sugar syrup (Trimoline) Inverted sugar syrup is a syrup mixture of the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, made by splitting disaccharide sucrose.This mixture's optical rotation is opposite to that of the original sugar, which is why it is called an invert sugar.

  6. Glucose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

    Oligosaccharides of glucose combined with other sugars serve as important energy stores. These include lactose, the predominant sugar in milk, which is a glucose-galactose disaccharide, and sucrose, another disaccharide which is composed of glucose and fructose. Glucose is also added onto certain proteins and lipids in a process called ...

  7. Fructose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose

    Fructose (/ ˈ f r ʌ k t oʊ s,-oʊ z /), or fruit sugar, is a ketonic simple sugar found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose.It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed by the gut directly into the blood of the portal vein during digestion.

  8. Disaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharide

    For example, milk sugar (lactose) is a disaccharide made by condensation of one molecule of each of the monosaccharides glucose and galactose, whereas the disaccharide sucrose in sugar cane and sugar beet, is a condensation product of glucose and fructose.

  9. Added sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Added_sugar

    In the United States, added sugars may include sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup, both primarily composed of about half glucose and half fructose. [7] Other types of added sugar ingredients include beet and cane sugars, malt syrup, maple syrup, pancake syrup, fructose sweetener, liquid fructose, fruit juice concentrate, honey, and molasses.
