What is Glucose-Fructose Syrup?

Glucose, Fructose and Sucrose

Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) found naturally in many foods. Long chains of glucose molecules linked together form starch.

Fructose is also a simple sugar found in many foods and is an isomer of glucose (they have the same chemical formula C6H12O6, but their physical structures are different). Fructose is sometimes referred to as fruit sugar. Honey, tree fruits (such as oranges, apples etc), berries, melons, and some root vegetables, such as beets, sweet potatoes, parsnips, and onions, contain fructose, usually in combination with glucose and sucrose or table sugar.

Sucrose is made up of glucose and fructose linked together in a 1:1 ratio.
