Applications
D-Fructose is a monosaccharide with real-world applications across several sectors: used as a sweetener and humectant in foods and beverages to influence sweetness, solubility, and moisture retention; serves as a fermentation substrate for biotechnological processes to produce ethanol, organic acids, and other bio-based products; employed as a pharmaceutical excipient and sweetener in oral formulations such as syrups and chewable tablets; used in cosmetics and personal care as a humectant and moisture-retaining ingredient; and acts as a starting material for chemical synthesis, including dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) for bio-based polymers and platform chemicals.
