Crystalline Fructose
Applications
Used in beverages, bakery, dairy, and nutrition products for enhanced sweetness with lower glycaemic impact; in pharmaceuticals as an excipient and flavour enhancer; in cosmetics for humectant and moisturising benefits; and in research environments for metabolic and analytical applications.
Safety & Risks
Generally recognised as safe. Excessive intake may lead to digestive discomfort. Dust may irritate eyes or respiratory tract. Use appropriate handling PPE and maintain dry processing conditions.
Packaging
Packed in 25 kg multi-wall paper bags with PE liners. Store cool and dry to prevent lumping and maintain flowability.
