Fructose is the sugar that occurs inside almost all fruits and some vegetables. Its degree of sweetening is twice that of sucrose or cane sugar, and it is used to sweeten sweets, jams, jelly, soft drinks and juices. It is also the source of the sweetness of honey, and gives the same taste as sucrose, but fructose is less than sucrose in terms of producing calories. Therefore, it is used to sweeten diet foods used for weight loss. Fructose is what gives ice cream and candy a soft texture. It also absorbs moisture easily, helping baked goods to be fresh and their taste does not change over time. For commercial purposes, fructose is produced in liquid, powder or tablet form. Food manufacturers use fructose extracted from corn, primarily in syrup form.
