Fructose
Fructose (or levulose) is a simple
sugar (
monosaccharide) found in many foods and is one of the three most important
blood sugars along with
glucose and
galactose.
Honey, tree fruits,
berries,
melons, and some root vegetables, such as
beets,
sweet potatoes,
parsnips, and
onions, contain fructose, usually in combination with
sucrose and glucose. Fructose is also derived from the digestion of
sucrose, a
disaccharide consisting of glucose and fructose that is broken down by
glycoside hydrolase enzymes during digestion. Fructose is the sweetest naturally occurring sugar, estimated to be twice as sweet as sucrose.
