Crystalline fructose is a natural sugar derived primarily from corn starch through a process that involves hydrolysis of the starch into glucose, followed by isomerization to fructose. It is then purified and crystallized to form a white, odorless powder with a sweetness approximately 1.2 to 1.7 times that of sucrose (table sugar). Crystalline fructose, a highly sweet, naturally occurring monosaccharide derived primarily from corn, offers numerous benefits, making it a versatile ingredient in various industries. Its high sweetness intensity, low glycemic index, and functional properties such as improved solubility and stability contribute to its broad range of applications.
Furthermore, crystalline fructose is used to sweeten soft drinks, providing a clean, sweet taste without the high caloric content associated with sucrose. Its ability to enhance and balance flavors makes it ideal for fruit-flavored drinks. Due to its rapid absorption and ability to provide quick energy, crystalline fructose is a popular sweetener in energy drinks and sports beverages. It improves the sweetness and flavor profile of fruit juices and flavored waters, often used to reduce the overall sugar content while maintaining taste.
Canadian consumers increasingly favor cosmetics formulated with natural and sustainable ingredients. Crystalline fructose, derived from natural sources like corn, fits well into this preference for clean-label products. Its natural origin and functional properties make it attractive for inclusion in skincare formulations such as moisturizers, serums, and masks.
As per the International Trade Administration (ITA), in 2021, the Canadian cosmetics sector generated approximately USD 1.24 billion in income. Cosmetics sector is anticipated to generate USD 1.8 billion in sales by 2024, an annual increase of 1.45%. With the growth of the cosmetics sector, there are opportunities for collaboration and integration within the supply chain. Local sourcing of crystalline fructose and partnerships between suppliers and cosmetics manufacturers in Canada can streamline production processes, ensure product quality, and support sustainable practices. Hence, the increasing food and cosmetics industries are driving the market's growth.
