Crystalline Fructose
Pure Sweetness, Flavor Enhancement – Approximately 1.2–1.8 times sweeter than sucrose, delivering a clean and refreshing sweetness that effectively enhances the natural flavor of ingredients, especially fruits and grains, without any undesirable aftertaste.
Unique Metabolism, Rapid Energy Release – Quickly absorbed via a specific metabolic pathway independent of insulin, making it suitable for products requiring fast energy supply, with a mild glycemic response.
Excellent Solubility & High Heat Stability – Fine crystals ensure quick dissolution and withstand high-temperature processes such as baking, steaming, and sterilization.
Controlled Hygroscopicity, Broad Adaptability – Remains structurally stable under varying humidity conditions, resistant to caking, and easy to store and process, suitable for a wide range of food and non-food applications.
Natural Origin, Clean Label – Sourced from natural raw materials like fruits and grains, with a clear composition that meets clean label requirements and global food regulations.
Product Introduction
Crystalline Fructose is a natural monosaccharide obtained through refined crystallization. It features pure sweetness, rapid dissolution, and excellent flavor compatibility. With higher sweetness than sucrose but similar caloric content, it has a lower impact on blood sugar due to its distinct metabolic pathway, making it ideal for sports nutrition and health-focused foods. The product exhibits uniform crystals, high thermal stability, and superior solubility, making it widely applicable in food, beverages, and personal care products. It supports both functional and sensory upgrades in end products. Its excellent processing adaptability and compatibility ensure stable performance under various production conditions, providing a reliable ingredient solution for innovative development in food, health products, and personal care applications.

Product Applications
1. Body Care Products
Crystalline Fructose is widely used as a natural humectant in body washes, lotions, hand creams, and other body care products. Its small molecular structure allows easy penetration into the stratum corneum, enhancing the skin’s moisture retention capacity and alleviating dryness and roughness. As a component of Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), fructose works synergistically with ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to improve overall hydration. It also forms a lightweight moisturizing film that reduces environmental irritation and increases product mildness and comfort, making it especially suitable for daily care of dry and sensitive skin. Additionally, fructose exhibits certain antioxidant properties that help soothe skin discomfort caused by external factors, enhancing product gentleness and user satisfaction.
2. Corn-Based Snacks
In extruded corn rings, corn crisps, corn curls, and other snack products, Crystalline Fructose serves as a sweetener and texture modifier. Its low hygroscopicity helps control water activity, preventing the snacks from becoming soggy due to moisture absorption or too hard from moisture loss, thereby maintaining a crisp texture. During high-temperature extrusion, fructose participates in the Maillard reaction, imparting an attractive golden color and roasted aroma. The quick and clean sweetness of fructose blends well with the natural flavor of corn, enhancing the overall taste profile and supporting the development of healthier snack options. It also helps maintain textural stability throughout shelf life and reduces off-flavors caused by lipid oxidation.
3. Pizza and Bakery Items
In pizza crusts, pre-made doughs, steamed buns, and stuffed buns, Crystalline Fructose helps regulate dough fermentation and improves product color. It participates in the Maillard reaction during baking, contributing to a golden-brown appearance and appealing aroma. Fructose also acts as a humectant, delaying starch retrogradation and maintaining softness, which extends shelf life. Compared to sucrose, fructose offers a cleaner sweetness that does not mask the natural wheat flavor, making it particularly suitable for savory-sweet balanced products like pizza and seasoned baked goods. In frozen dough applications, fructose helps inhibit ice crystal formation, preserving texture and appearance after thawing.
4. Vitamin Supplements
Crystalline Fructose is commonly used in effervescent tablets, oral liquids, gummies, and other nutritional supplements as a sweetening agent and flavor masker. It dissolves quickly, resulting in a clear solution without affecting product appearance. The pure sweetness of fructose effectively covers off-flavors from vitamins, minerals, and other functional ingredients, improving acceptability among consumers, especially children and the elderly. Due to its insulin-independent metabolism, it is also suitable for low-glycemic index (GI) nutritional formulas tailored for specific dietary needs. Fructose blends well with other sugars or sugar alcohols, providing a more natural sweetness profile without bitter or metallic aftertastes, thereby improving overall palatability.
5. Flavored Alcoholic Beverages
In fruit-infused wines, liqueurs, low-alcohol beverages, and other flavored alcoholic drinks, Crystalline Fructose acts as a sweetening harmonizer, improving mouthfeel and flavor balance. Its refreshing sweetness counterbalances the sharpness of alcohol while enhancing the natural aromas of fruits and spices. Fructose dissolves easily without affecting the clarity of the beverage, and its sweetness is more pronounced at low temperatures, making it ideal for chilled drinks. The use of fructose allows for “contains natural fructose” claims, aligning with clean label trends and increasing market appeal. Moreover, fructose demonstrates good chemical stability in alcoholic matrices, ensuring consistent flavor and storage stability.
6. Other Applications
Beyond the above areas, Crystalline Fructose is widely used in jams, candies, ice cream, sauces, and many other food products. In jams, it inhibits crystallization and maintains a smooth texture. In ice cream, it enhances perceived sweetness at low temperatures and improves smoothness. In sauces, it helps balance sweet and sour notes, elevating the overall flavor profile. Its versatility makes it an essential ingredient in modern food manufacturing, supporting product innovation and upgrading. With growing consumer demand for natural and healthy ingredients, the potential of crystalline fructose continues to expand in plant-based foods, functional beverages, and sugar-reduced formulations, offering new opportunities for industry innovation.
