I can not find this in any literature but using a theoretical calculation the enthalpy of formation of fructose is -1087.32 kJ/mol.

This calculation was made using Spartan 08's T1 model. This method uses a combination of ab initio calculations and basis sets to create a correlated model. For a comparison, using the same calculation glucose's enthalpy of formation was calculated to be -1038.63 kJ/mol.

Wikipedia reports the enthalpy of formation of glucose to be −1271 kJ/mol, though no citation is provided, so assuming this value is accurate there is an 18.3% error in the glucose calculation. I am curious as to where this value was obtained since there is no entry for the heat of formation of glucose on NIST nor that I can find in the CRC handbook.

How bond formation and bond breaking related to enthalpy?

Enthalpy is the measurement of total energy change of a reaction. The energy of bond formation and bond breaking can be used to calculate the bond enthalpy of the reaction. Bond enthalpy is the enthalphy change when 1 mol of bond is broken. Therefore the general equation to calculate the enthalpy change is energy of bond broken subtract by energy of bond formation.
