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

∙ 11y agoHigh fructose corn syrup is a mixture of glucose and fructose which both have a molecular (molar) weight of 180.16g/mol and the chemical formula C6H12O6. So high fructose corn syrup has a molar weight of 180.16g/mol for the reason that both components have the same exact molar weight.

covalent
Is wheat in high fructose corn syrup?
No, high fructose corn syrup is made from corn.
Will cutting high fructose corn syrup help with weight loss?
high fructose corn syrup being a chemical substitute for sugar yes cutting it will help you loose weight.
Is Karo syrup high fructose corn syrup?
Dextrose, not fructose.
Is karo corn syrup high fructose corn syrup?
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.
Is High Fructose Corn Syrup a completely different chemical from regular fructose and if so what is the chemical formula?
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.
