Title: Exploring fructose: The sweet molecule behind Delicious Taste Hello, everyone! Today I'm going to tell you about a well-known sweet molecule called fructose. Whether in fruits or in foods and drinks, fructose plays a sweet role. Let's explore where fructose comes from, what it does, and how it relates to health. First, the source of fructose Fructose (C6H12O6) is a monosaccharide and one of the common sugars found in nature. It can be found in various fruits, vegetables and honey. When we eat fruit, the sweetness we taste comes mainly from fructose. Second, the characteristics of fructose High sweetness: Compared to glucose, fructose is more sweet, which is why it is often used as a sweetener in food and beverages.
