Glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6, but different structural formulas, meaning that they differ in their three-dimensional structures (i.e. the way the atoms are bonded). Due to this difference, glucose is less sweet than fructose, which is the sweetest sugar.
What else can I help you with?
What is fructose solution?
fructose has same molecular formula but different structural formula. but the amount of sweetness of fructose is much much greater than glucose or sucrose. so the fructose solution is the sweetest solution...
What does the combination of two glucose molecules result in?
The reaction is a condensation reaction so in addition to the disaccharide water is also a product. N.B. glucose + glucose -> maltose + water (not sucrose) glucose + fructose -> sucrose + water
Do fructose and glucose contain reducing sugars?
No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.
What happens during the inversion of sucrose?
Invert Sugar is a mixture of equal parts of Glucose (Dextrose) & Fructose resulting from the hydrolysis of Sugar (Sucrose). It is found naturally in friuts & honey and produced artficially for use in the food industry.
What is one of two monosaccharides made by plants?
Plants make different sugars including sucrose, dextrose and fructose.
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 enzyme changes glucose to frutose?
The enzyme responsible for converting glucose to fructose is glucose isomerase. It catalyzes the reversible isomerization of glucose to fructose. This enzyme is commonly used in the production of high-fructose corn syrup.
Are glucose and fructose reduced sugars?
Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars.
What are two monosaccharides that will make the disaccharide sucrose?
Fructose and glucose are found in sucrose.
What two monosaccharids make up sucrose?
glucose and fructose
Why glucose is also know as fructose?
Glucose and fructose are very different carbohydrates !
Are glucose and fructose elements?
Yes, they have 6 carbons.
Sucrose plus water equals glucose plus fructose?
sucrose + water = glucose + fructose is the chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.
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.
What two sugars combine to make sucrose?
Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of an alpha-glucose and an alpha-fructose. It has an alpha 1-2 glycosidic linkage between the two molecules.
What breaks down sucrose into glucose and fructose?
Yes. You can obtain fructose & Glucose by the breaking down of Sucrose. Sucrose is made from linked Fructose & Glucose.
What comes together to form a disaccharide?
Fructose and glucose combine to form a disaccharide.
