Fructose - Fruitose®
One of the main challenges of the sweeteners industry is to find a high-quality and non-GMO product that provide many benefits and functional properties to an application.
Galam, is the world's largest manufacturer of crystalline fructose and provides superior product, Fruitose®.
Fruitose® is often used to balance flavors and brix level between batches. Since it is identical to the natural fructose substance, many companies have the preference for Fruitose® by Galam due to its high quality, purity, and the different characteristics to corn-based fructose.

resulting in creamier/softer ice-cream with improved “scoop-ability”. - High solubility, sugar i.e., ~80% (20°C) soluble sugar resistant to crystallization
- Provides a low water-activity (aw), increasing food freshness/shelf life.
- Fructose provides excellent “Maillard-browning” ability resulting in nice brownish coloration and aroma of bakery products.
