Is fructose a organic or a inorganic?
It depends on the type of Fructose.Fructose, or fruit sugar, is a simple monosaccharide found in many plants. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion.Pure, dry fructose is a very sweet, white, odorless, crystalline solid and is the most water-soluble of all the sugars.From plant sources, fructose is found in honey, tree and vine fruits, flowers, berries and most root vegetables. In plants, fructose may be present as the monosaccharide and/or as a component of sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide with a molecule of glucose and a molecule of fructose bonded together with a glycosidic linkage.Commercially, fructose is usually derived from sugar cane, sugar beets and corn and there are 3 commercially important forms. Crystalline fructose is the monosaccharide, dried and ground, and of high purity. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a mixture of glucose and fructose as monosaccharides. Sucrose is the third form. All forms of fructose, including fruits and juices, are commonly added to foods and drinks for palatability, taste enhancement and improved browning of some foods, such as baked goods.
Thanks yer so im taking creatine before i work out and they say i need to take it with a fluid dat contains a fructose or dextrose base so i was wondering if dat is drinks like powerade?
That depends on what you mean. Except in specialist market drinks, added sugars would be only sucrose - table sugar. All fruits naturally contain a mix of sugars though - if we find them sweet, they tend to have more sucrose as humans find that the sweetest of natural sugars. The total content and balance of fructose, glucose (dextrose) and sucrose varies from fruit to fruit, and even variety to variety.
