Probably because it links to more receptores. Otherwise it's just your expectation.

How is the original sugar sucrose differ from resulting sugars glucose and fructose?

Sucrose is a larger molecule made up of two sugars glucose and fructose. These two are about half the size of sucrose.


How do you change sucrose to glucose?

Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. A sucrase will hydrolyze sucrose into both constitute parts. You will be left with glucose and fructose, but you cannot directly transform sucrose to glucose.


What is the abbreviation for fructose and sucrose?

Fructose is abbreviated as Fru and sucrose is abbreviated as Suc.


Why fructose is sweeter than glucose?

Fructose and glucose are both monosacharides. Sucrose is a disaccharide containing fru-glu. Both are sweet, but fructose tastes sweeter per mole. I believe 2 times greater. Which is why glucose from corn starch is enzymatically converted to fructose in the production of high fructose corn syrup and sweeteners. The product will give more sweetness. The lower amount of sugar you need in your food and beverages to satisfy your sweet taste, the better. Cheaper and less calories. The reason why. Your tongue has sweet receptors. Fructose has a more optimal structure for binding affinity to the receptor. Which then elicits a neural response; impulse travels to brain telling you it is sweet and how sweet. Other compounds, non-sugars can also bind to the receptor. e.g. Aspartame (derived from the amino acid asparagine), and some proteins. They are non- to low caloric and low tooth decay.


What Upon hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose?

Sucrose

Which is sweeter Xylitol or fructose?

Xylitol is said to be as sweet as sucrose, which is table sugar. I personally find it to be sweeter than that.


Why invert sugar is more sweet than sucrose?

Inverted sugar is sweeter than sugar because upon splitting the sucrose molecules into 2 molecules, one of fructose and one of glucose, the concentration of sugar molecules doubles (i.e. 1 pound of sucrose -> 1 pound glucose + 1 pound frucose = 2 pounds sugars).


Why are cooked sucrose solution sweeter than uncooked sucrose solution?

During cooking, sucrose hydrolyses into its monomers, glucose and fructose. This mixture is commonly known as "invert sugar". Invert sugar shows more sweetness than sucrose.


What is the difference between glucose and frutose?

A different between fructose and glucose is that fructose is much sweeter than glucose. Also fructose, when eaten and absorbed, releases its energy slower than glucose and can metabolize without the need of insulin.

What is 550 times sweeter than cane sugar?

yes


Does a banana have sucrose or fructose?

Sucrose


Sucrose plus water equals glucose plus fructose?

sucrose + water = glucose + fructose is the chemical equation for the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.


What evidence shows that aspartame is sweeter than fructose?

Aspartame is approximately 200 times sweeter than fructose based on their relative sweetness. This has been demonstrated in taste tests where individuals consistently perceive aspartame as sweeter than fructose when compared at equivalent concentrations. Additionally, the molecular structure of aspartame allows it to activate sweet taste receptors on the tongue more effectively than fructose.


Why fructose is more sweeter than glucose?

fructose binds to the sweet receptors in the tongue and ellicit neural impulses


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.


Which is the bigger carbohydrate sucrose or fructose?

Fructose
