Crystalline Fructose

Pure crystallised D-fructose, 98% min, food and pharmacopoeia grade, in 25 kg bags

Crystalline fructose is purified, crystallised D-fructose, a different product from fructose syrups. The Codex Standard for Sugars (CXS 212-1999) sets fructose content at not less than 98.0% and glucose at not more than 0.5%, with loss on drying at 0.5% maximum, conductivity ash at 0.1% maximum, colour at 30 ICUMSA units maximum, pH 4.5-7.0 in a 10% solution and sulphur dioxide at 15 mg/kg; EU Directive 2001/111/EC uses the same fructose, glucose, loss-on-drying and ash limits. Commercial specifications run tighter: ADM's Crystalline Fructose C sheet sets fructose at 99.50% or more on dry substance, water at 0.050% maximum and SO2 at 10 mg/kg, says the product is made from non-GMO cereal raw material by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch, and states compliance with Ph. Eur., USP, the Food Chemicals Codex and Codex Alimentarius. A Chinese export specification lists fructose above 99.0% on dry basis, loss on drying of 0.5% maximum and 5-HMF at 0.005% maximum, in 25 kg bags with HACCP, kosher and halal certificates, dispatched from Shanghai, Tianjin and Qingdao, and describes the product as 1.2 to 1.7 times as sweet as sugar.

It classifies under HS 1702.50 as chemically pure fructose, and the export trade is concentrated. UN Comtrade 2024 export declarations for 1702.50 total USD 323 million and 244,000 MT: Türkiye at 100,000 MT (36% of value), the USA at 77,000 MT (30%) and the Netherlands at 26,000 MT (13%), with China, Czechia, Germany and Bulgaria well behind. Buyers take crystalline fructose for sweetness and function in beverage powders, dairy and fruit preparations and reduced-sugar recipes; it takes up moisture, so lined packaging and dry storage matter. Pharmacopoeia grade is bought against a named monograph, with the manufacturer's GMP documents alongside the certificate of analysis. CBIL is a commodity brokerage company and brokers crystalline fructose against a certificate of analysis for fructose and glucose content, loss on drying, ash, colour, pH, SO2 and microbiology, with halal, kosher and non-GMO documentation where claimed, on FOB, CFR and CIF terms. Send the grade, standard, particle size, monthly volume and discharge port.
