Fructose syrup Frutasun®
The versatile flavour enhancer
Frutasun® is a natural, clear and sweet syrup rich in fructose (fruit sugar). Frutasun®, extracted from the chicory root, is approximately 1.4 times sweeter than sugar. The sweetening power is the highest at low temperatures and at a low pH.
Because a smaller quantity is required, it is frequently used in low calorie products. Moreover, fructose is absorbed less quickly in the blood whereby the blood sugar level rises less rapidly. Frutasun® is therefore frequently found in sports and energy drinks.
The easily soluble Frutasun® camouflages the unpleasant taste of intensive sweeteners, vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, Frutasun® intensifies the sweetening power of other sweeteners and has the exceptional power to intensify fruit aromas.
Thanks to the high solubility of fructose, Frutasun® can be produced in a concentrated form without the risk of crystallisation (maximum 77% of dry matter). Because of the low viscosity and low susceptibility to crystallisation Frutasun® does not require heated storage and it is easy to pump.
More than sugar and glucose syrups, fructose lowers the freezing point of ice-cream. Frutasun® also accelerates browning during heating. This makes the product extremely suitable for bakery products that are swiftly heated in the oven or microwave. Finally Frutasun® extends the storage life of products and reduces the risk of microbiological decay. The moisture regulating properties of fructose ensure that the products dry out less quickly and that they remain soft longer.
