  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. Disaccharide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disaccharide

    Sucrose, a disaccharide formed from condensation of a molecule of glucose and a molecule of fructose. A disaccharide (also called a double sugar or biose) [1] is the sugar formed when two monosaccharides are joined by glycosidic linkage. [2] Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are simple sugars soluble in water.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Sugar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar

    Fructose, galactose, and glucose are all simple sugars, monosaccharides, with the general formula C 6 H 12 O 6. They have five hydroxyl groups (−OH) and a carbonyl group (C=O) and are cyclic when dissolved in water. They each exist as several isomers with dextro- and laevo-rotatory forms that cause polarized light to diverge to the right or ...

  7. 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.

  8. Inverted sugar syrup - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup

    When wine ferments, glucose is fermented at a faster rate than fructose. Thus, arresting fermentation after a significant portion of the sugars have fermented results in a wine where the residual sugar consists mainly of fructose, while the use of sweet reserve will result in a wine where the sweetness comes from a mixture of glucose and fructose.

  9. Seliwanoff's test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seliwanoff's_test

    Fructose and sucrose are two common sugars which give a positive test. Sucrose gives a positive test as it is a disaccharide consisting of fructose and glucose. Generally, 6M HCl is used to run this test. Ketoses are dehydrated faster and give stronger colors. Aldoses react very slowly and give faint colors.
