7. fructose
   A 6-carbon sugar (hexose) abundant in plants. Fructose has its reducing group (carbonyl) at C2, and thus is a ketose, in contrast to glucose that has its carbonyl at C1 and thus is an aldose. Sucrose, common table sugar, is the non-reducing disaccharide formed by an a- linkage from C1 of glucose to C2 of fructose (latter in furanose form). Fructose is a component of polysaccharides such as inulin, levan.
