Fructose is a type of sugar found in honey that is made up of two key "glucose factors", known as Dextrose (known as Glucose) and Levulose. They form the solid structural formula and consistency of honey, first starting off as a sandy granulated to a smooth sticky substance. The open chain structure is the deterimination of how these molecules interact with each other through the making of honey, also known as intermolecular bonding.
Fructose has the same chemical formula as glucose, the most common sugar in foods, but a different arrangement of the atoms gives it somewhat different properties.
It is C6H12O6. Melting point of 103 degrees Celsius. (Look up cellular respiration).
Glucose and fructose are isomers, with the same empiric chemical formula but with a different structure and properties.
Geometric Isotopes
Glucose, Fructose and Mannose give the same osazone because these sugars have the same configuration of carbons 3, 4, 5 and 6. osazone formation only affects carbons 1 and 2.
The actual chemical formula isn't different - both are C6H12O6. The only reason glucose and fructose are different is because the atoms are arranged differently. View the Related Links below to see the molecular arrangements of Fructose and Glucose.
fructose is non-reducing sugar
Glucose and fructose are isomers, with the same empiric chemical formula but with a different structure and properties.
Glucose and fructose have some things in common. The most common thing they have is that they are both simple sugars.
The other sugar is fructose. Fructose is a structural isomer of glucose. It has the same chemical formula but an altered structure.
Geometric Isotopes
Sucrose is a disaccharide: it's a glucose molecule bonded to a fructose molecule. Its formula is C12H22O11.Glucose and fructose are monosaccharides, but the atoms are arranged differently. Pictures can't be posted here, but the structure of these two molecules is easy to find on the Web.
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 Here is a link that will show a diagram of fructose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose newtest3 The above information is provided by the CRA, Corn Refiners Association, that makes corn syrup. Therefore this is biased information.
Glucose, Fructose and Mannose give the same osazone because these sugars have the same configuration of carbons 3, 4, 5 and 6. osazone formation only affects carbons 1 and 2.

Corn or maize contains carbohydrates and simple sugars such fructose, glucose, and sucrose. The starch from maize contains two glucose polymers (amylose and amylopectin).
no fructose is not a molecule
no, fructose is a sugar.
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
