Chemistry: Difference between Glucose and Fructose in Tabular Form

Illustration: Chemistry: Difference between Glucose and Fructose in Tabular Form

Glucose

  • Glucose is a monosaccharide, also known as grape sugar.
  • It՚s an aldohexose. It is the preferred source of energy for our muscles and brain.

Uses of Glucose

  • It is provided to patients who are extremely ill and unable to feed because it offers calories from carbohydrates.
  • It used in the treatment of low blood sugar.
  • Used for the synthesis of matter as a precursor.

Fructose

  • It naturally found in fruits and vegetables, primarily metabolized in our livers.
  • Fructose is used to generate energy.
  • It also involved in lipogenesis, which is how fat is formed, unlike glucose.
  • It belongs to a group called ketose.
  • Oligosaccharides are formed when fructose interacts with other monosaccharides.

Uses of Fructose

  • Crystalline fructose is used in the food industry to improve flavour.
  • It is found in flavoured water, energy drinks, items that are low in calories, etc.
  • In manufacture of smooth, moist cookies, nutrition bars, low-calorie products, etc, fruit sugar is used.
