Fructose

Comments

 
fructose
a very sweet (173% sweetness compared to sucrose) monosaccharide hexose sugar found especially in honey and fruit. Molecular formula: C6H12O6 
Maximum ingestible capability for over 50% of humans is 25–50 g.
Absorption of free fructose in the small intestine differs markedly from glucose and is primarily mediated by the GLUT5 transporter, with possible participation of GLUT2.  Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), particularly the lactobacilli, represent the best characterized group of fructophilic microbes.. Other bacteria capable of metabolizing fructose are Bifidobacterium and Faecalibacterium (Clostridium cluster IV)..
