Fructofin® fructose water activity
The water activity of sweeteners influences the microbial stability of finished products.
Fructofin® fructose has a lower water activity and a higher osmotic potential than sucrose. Products such as jams and fruit preparations may be made with less fructose than sucrose or at lower dry substance levels enabling the production of reduced sugar products without compromising shelf stability. To match the texture of products made with sucrose, thickeners or gelling agents may be required.
