Fructose dietary sources

The major dietary source of fructose is the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), but it is also present as the monosaccharide in fruit and in com syrup, which is used as a sweetener. 

Dietary sources of fructose include fruit, honey, and the disaccharide sucrose. Fructose, a significant source of carbohydrate in the human diet (second only... 

Fructose-1-phosphate is produced from fructose metabolism. The major dietary source of fructose, the ingestion of which would lead to increased fructose 1-phosphate levels, is sucrose. Sucrose is a disaccharide of glucose and fructose. Thus, an elevation of fructose 1-phosphate usually indicates an elevation of glucose levels as well. 

Breads contain high ieveis of carbohydrates and fruits are a dietary source of fructose. 

Treatment simply involves avoiding dietary sources of fructose and compounds that are metabolised to fructose such as sucrose and sorbitol. Children develop a natural aversion to sweet foods and learn to avoid fructose. A positive outcome is that they are relatively free from dental caries. 

A monosaccharide obtained from dietary sources, either as the free sugar or as a part of the sucrose molecule. It is normally metabolized by the liver and kidney to glucose. Two inborn errors of fructose metabolism have been described ... 

Give examples of dietary sources of each of the following common sugars glucose, fructose, sucrose, and lactose. 

A unique plant on many levels, the distinctive properties of the Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus L.) present novel answers to some of today s most pressing problems. Jerusalem artichoke is potentially a major source of inulin, a fructose polymer that provides dietary health benefits as a prebiotic that promotes intestinal health and as a low-calorie carbohydrate to combat obesity and diabetes. Inulin also has myriad industrial applications, including ethanol production — making Jerusalem artichoke a potential source of biofuel. With its ready cultivation and minimal pest and disease problems, Jerusalem artichoke is an underutilized resource that possesses the potential to meet major health and energy challenges. 

Date pulp is low in fat and protein but rich in sugars, mainly fructose and glucose, making it a potent source of caloric energy. It contains excellent amounts of amino acids for protein dietary minerals such as selenium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and iron several B vitamins vitamin C omega fatty acids phytosterols and both insoluble and prebi-... 

Nutrition management of GSD-1 includes providing supplemental uncooked cornstarch as a source of glucose, avoidance of dietary galactose and fructose, and a moderate restriction of fat. 

F. may be used as low-cost sources of rather pure fructose. Their viscosity makes them useful as thickeners, binders and as protective encapsulating agent for flavors, colors and pharmaceuticals. Inulin is used for the production of dietary food. Inulin is not degraded by the enzymes of the mucosa and can be used in diagnostics to determine the filtration rate of the kidney.
