A fructose (levulose) molecule has six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms which is generally found in nature, but can be produced into such sugars as high fructose corn syrup. This is done by taking corn (usually genetically modified) and milling it into corn starch. Then by adding the enzyme a-amylase followed by the enzyme glucoamylase, this turns the starch into glucose. Glucose isomerase is then added to convert the glucose into fructose. This does not convert all glucose to fructose, however. This is where the purity of the product is noted and labeled with the percentage next to HFCS (i.e. HFCS 55 signifies 55% fructose, 45% glucose).

sucrose
it makes fructose
The two monomers, glucose and fructose, combine to make the disaccharide sucrose.

Once diagnosed, fructose intolerance can be successfully treated by eliminating fructose from the diet. Patients usually respond within three to four weeks and can make a complete recovery if fructose-containing foods are avoided.
both glucose and fructose are monosacharides, so you can add someting to a mono... to make another one. although, if you add them together, you get sucorse
Fructose and glucose
Glucose, fructose, and galactose make up disaccharides.
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of an alpha-glucose and an alpha-fructose. It has an alpha 1-2 glycosidic linkage between the two molecules.
Yes, they do. Glucose and Fructose go through a condensation reaction to make sucrose (since H2O is taken out of the equation). Fructose and sucrose are isomers.
