Fructose - Wikipedia
Fructose (/ ˈfrʌktoʊs, - oʊz /), or fruit sugar, is a ketonic simple sugar found in many plants, where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose. It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, along with glucose and galactose, that are absorbed by the gut directly into the blood of the portal vein during digestion.

2017年8月28日 · Fructose, or “fruit sugar”, is one of the three most common natural monosaccharides. (The other two are glucose and galactose.) As its name implies, fructose is found in almost all fruits; but it also exists in commercial quantities in …

2021年2月28日 · Sucrose is formed when a monomer of glucose and a monomer of fructose are joined in a dehydration reaction to form a glycosidic bond. In the process, a water molecule is lost. By convention, the carbon atoms in a monosaccharide are numbered from the terminal carbon closest to the carbonyl group.

In fructose, the carbonyl group is on the C 2 carbon, forming a ketone group. The former sugars are called aldoses based on the aldehyde group that is formed; the latter is designated as a …

3.2: Carbohydrates - Biology LibreTexts
Although glucose, galactose, and fructose all have the same chemical formula (C 6 H 12 O 6), they differ structurally and chemically (and are known as isomers) because of the different arrangement of functional groups around the asymmetric carbon; all of these monosaccharides have more than one asymmetric carbon (Figure\(\PageIndex{2}\)).
5.2: Carbohydrate Structures - Chemistry LibreTexts
Both glucose and fructose are hexoses because they contain six carbons but glucose is an aldohexose while fructose (also known as "fruit sugar") is a ketohexose. Other common monosaccharides include galactose (part of lactose), xylose ("wood sugar"), ribose (in RNA), and deoxyribose (in DNA).
6.1: Structure and Function- Carbohydrates
The most common monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and mannose. Of these sugars, all but one (fructose) exists as an aldehyde. Fructose and some other less well known sugars are ketones.
Fructose - Chemistry LibreTexts
Fructose, along with glucose are the monosaccharides found in disaccharide, sucrose. Fructose is classified as a monosaccharide, the most important ketose sugar, a hexose, and is a reducing sugar.
