High Fructose Corn Syrup, or HFCS is a synthetic monosaccharide. It is 55% fructose and 45% glucose. The obvious carbohydrate is the fructose. The molecular structure of fructose is as follows:
C6H12O6 is the chemical composition of glucose

The above information is provided by the CRA, Corn Refiners Association, that makes corn syrup. Therefore this is biased information.
High fructose corn syrup is a mixture and therefore does not have a chemical formula.

No, high fructose corn syrup is made from corn.
high fructose corn syrup being a chemical substitute for sugar yes cutting it will help you loose weight.
Dextrose, not fructose.
No. high fructose corn syrup and corn syrup are distinctly different products. When Karo was introduced in 1902, it did not contain high fructose corn syrup. Sometime in the 1970's, it was added to the Karo light and pancake syrups. As a result of consumer requests, the high fructose corn syrup has now been removed and all Karo products are high fructose corn syrup free.
The chemical formula of Fanta can vary depending on the specific flavor and type of the drink. However, the main ingredients in most Fanta beverages are carbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, sodium benzoate, natural flavors, and artificial colors. Therefore, the general chemical formula for Fanta can be represented as C6H12O6 (for high fructose corn syrup) along with other additives.
High fructose corn syrup, HFCS, is a blend of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. Both sugars have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6, but have unique chemical structures. "Regular" fructose, found in fruit or sucrose ( table sugar) has the same chemical formula. Sucrose, however, is a disaccharide of fructose and glucose which means that the fructose and glucose are chemically linked. Therefore, the ratio of the fructose to glucose in sucrose is precisely 50:50, 1:1, and the %fructose cannot exceed 50%. This is not the case with HFCS. Depending on the needs of the manufacturers the %fructose can range from 42% to 90%. Dairy and baked products use 42%, Pepsi and Coke use 55% fructose, and low-cal products may contain as much as 90% fructose.
Both are considered simple sugars. Here is a list: Brown sugar Corn sweetener Corn syrup Dextrose Fructose Glucose Honey Inverted sugar Fruit juice concentrates High fructose corn syrup Lactose Maltose Malt syrup Molasses Raw sugar Sucrose (table sugar) Sugar Syrup
High fructose corn syrup contains more fructose than refined sugar.
