What is Organic Crystalline Fructose?
Organic Crystalline Fructose is a premium sweetener derived from certified organic sources such as corn or fruits. It offers a high level of sweetness, approximately 1.2–1.8 times sweeter than regular table sugar (sucrose), while maintaining a low glycemic index. Known for its clean, pure taste and excellent solubility, it is ideal for a wide variety of applications, including beverages, baked goods, and health-conscious products. Organic Crystalline Fructose is a natural choice for reducing overall sugar content while enhancing flavor and sweetness.
Production Process:
- Raw Material Selection: Organic raw materials such as corn or fruits are sourced from certified organic farms.
- Extraction: The starch is hydrolyzed to produce fructose-rich syrup.
- Purification: The syrup undergoes advanced filtration to remove impurities.
- Crystallization: The purified fructose is crystallized to achieve a highly pure, stable product.
- Drying and Milling: The crystalline fructose is dried and milled to the desired particle size.
- Quality Control: The product is rigorously tested to meet food-grade safety and quality standards.
Key Features:
- Certified Organic: Produced from non-GMO, organic raw materials, compliant with USDA and EU organic standards.
- High Sweetness: Offers a higher sweetness level than sucrose, allowing for lower usage quantities and calorie reduction.
- Low Glycemic Index: Suitable for individuals monitoring blood sugar levels, as it has a slower impact on blood glucose.
- Clean, Neutral Flavor: Enhances natural flavors without altering taste profiles, making it ideal for delicate recipes.
- High Solubility: Dissolves quickly and completely in both hot and cold liquids.
