L-(+)-Fructose - Introduction
L-(+)-Fructose is a naturally occurring monosaccharide, also known as dextrorotatory Fructose. Its chemical formula is C6H12O6. L-(+)-Fructose is a simple monosaccharide molecule, similar to glucose and galactose, but with a slightly different molecular structure.
The properties of L-( )-Fructose are as follows:
-Appearance: Colorless crystal or white crystalline powder.
-Solubility: Soluble in water, almost insoluble in alcohols and lipids.
-Taste: It has a sweet taste and is one of the natural sweeteners.
-Calorific value: The calorific value of L-( )-Fructose is lower than that of sucrose, but higher than that of glucose.
L-( )-Fructose is mainly used in the following aspects:
-Food industry: as a sweetener widely used in food, beverage and dessert manufacturing.
-Pharmaceutical industry: for the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations, oral dissolution tablets and sugar-coated tablets.
-Cosmetics industry: used in oral care products, masks and lotions, etc.
-Biochemical research: as a substrate in the laboratory for biochemical and biological research.
There are two main methods of making L-( )-Fructose:
1. Through the reaction of fructose isomerase, glucose is converted into fructose.
2. Extract L-( )-Fructose from natural fruits and vegetables.
L-( )-Fructose is generally considered safe, but excessive intake may cause gastrointestinal discomfort and digestive problems such as diarrhea. In addition, for certain populations, such as those with rare hereditary fructose intolerance, consuming too much fructose may cause problems. Therefore, when using L-( )-Fructose, it should be taken in an appropriate amount and according to personal circumstances. To ensure safety, it is recommended to consult a doctor or dietitian for advice before using L-( )-Fructose.
