Isomerisation of the glucose, which is an alpha-hydroxy-ketone, into fructose being beta-hydroxy-aldehydes.
It is done together with an enzyme: glucose-isomerase and will end up in an equilibrium state when about 50% is converted in fructose (also 50%).
This mixture is called:
- isomerose-syrup or IsoSweet(R) and is sweeter than the same amount of glucose-syrup.
- High Fructose Corn Steep (HFCS) liquor has up to 65% fructose by special treatment of 1.
Without an enzyme the reaction could be carried out in moderate alkaline solution and then also mannose is formed.

What process produces glucose and fructose from sucrose?
CONDENSATION
What is the name of the process-turning sunlight into glucose?
That process would be photosynthesis.
Are glucose and fructose elements?
Yes, they have 6 carbons.
Monosaccharides produced by hydrolysis of sucrose?
You have the enzyme called as sucrase. This enzyme is present in the brush border of the cells from intestine. This enzyme splits one molecule of sucrose into one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. This reaction takes place during absorption.
When sucrose is digested what is formed?
You get the molecule of glucose and fructose from the molecule of sucrose.
What process produces glucose and fructose from sucrose?
CONDENSATION
When you add Fructose and fructose does it gives you glucose?
No. Fructose and glucose are two different, simple sugars or monosaccharides. Fructose is a ketohexose. Glucose is an aldohexose.
What is the process of turning glucose to glycogen?
glycogenesis
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
What is the name of the process-turning sunlight into glucose?
That process would be photosynthesis.
What enzyme changes glucose to frutose?
The enzyme that breaks down sucrose to glucose and fructose is called sucrase.
What are two monosaccharides that will make the disaccharide sucrose?
Fructose and glucose are found in sucrose.
Why glucose is also know as fructose?
Glucose and fructose are very different carbohydrates !
What two monosaccharids make up sucrose?
glucose and fructose
Are glucose and fructose elements?
Yes, they have 6 carbons.
How do you distinguish glucose and fructose?
Glucose is an aldose whereas fructose in a ketose. There is a simple qualitative test for distinguishing between D-Glucose and D-Fructose.
Sucrose plus water equals glucose plus fructose?
sucrose + water = glucose + fructose is the chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.
