   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.

    Fructose
    `Fructose` (also `levulose` or `laevulose`) is a simple reducing sugar (monosaccharide) found in many foods and is one of the three most important blood sugars along with glucose and galactose. Honey, tree fruits, berries, melons, and some root vegetables, such as beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and onions, contain fructose, usually in combination with sucrose and glucose. Fructose is also derived from the digestion of sucrose, a disaccharide co...
