Technical characteristics of Fructofin® fructose
Fructofin® fructose is a highly soluble monosaccharide with many technical characteristics including:
- Highest sweetness of all sugars – up to 1.8 times of sucrose
- Enhances flavours, particularly those of fruit, chocolate, coffee and vanilla
- Masks the bitter after-tastes of intense sweeteners such as acesulfame-potassium, aspartame, cyclamate and saccharin
- Easy to handle
- High solubility (up to 79% w/w at 20°C)
- High freezing point depression
- High osmotic pressure in solution (and consequently low water activity)
- Acts as a good humectant
- Low viscosity in solution
- Browns readily (Maillard reaction)
