reactions
fructose , fermentation

fructose may anaerobically fermented yeast or bacteria. yeast enzymes convert sugar (glucose, or fructose) ethanol , carbon dioxide. carbon dioxide released during fermentation remain dissolved in water, reach equilibrium carbonic acid, unless fermentation chamber left open air. dissolved carbon dioxide , carbonic acid produce carbonation in bottled fermented beverages.

fructose , maillard reaction

fructose undergoes maillard reaction, non-enzymatic browning, amino acids. because fructose exists greater extent in open-chain form glucose, initial stages of maillard reaction occur more rapidly glucose. therefore, fructose has potential contribute changes in food palatability, other nutritional effects, such excessive browning, volume , tenderness reduction during cake preparation, , formation of mutagenic compounds.

dehydration

fructose readily dehydrates give hydroxymethylfurfural ( hmf ).

this process, in future, may become part of low-cost, carbon-neutral system produce replacements petrol , diesel plants.
