Crystalline fructose, as a new type of sugar source, is currently the sweetest natural healthy sweetener. It has good processing performance and special metabolic characteristics, and will not cause rapid fluctuations in blood sugar. In recent years, Crystalline fructose has been used in many countries to make low-energy health food, nutritional products, infant food, including health food for special populations. It is predicted that Crystalline fructose, as a new type of healthy sugar source, will become a new type of sugar source in the century, and can completely replace the current edible sugar—sucrose and glucose.

Crystalline fructose is more soluble in water than sucrose and glucose. It is suitable for adding in various foods, such as beverages and fermented foods, and the viscosity of the aqueous solution is relatively low, which is convenient for processing, storage and transportation.
Crystalline fructose has a strong ability to lower the freezing point, which can inhibit the formation of ice crystals in cold foods and increase the shelf life of cold foods. It is suitable for frozen foods and can enhance the taste (the relative freezing point reduction of fructose is 1.9 times that of sucrose).
Crystalline fructose has strong moisture absorption and water retention in the case of high relative humidity, and can be used as a water-absorbing agent; after absorbing 6.0-12.0% of water, Crystalline fructose neither absorbs nor releases water , can effectively prevent food dehydration and avoid starch aging.
