I'm not a biologist or chemical engineer I'm just going by the information I can find and decipher.
If the sucrose molecule can be broken down/decomposed into two other molecules one fructose and the other glucose is that not accurate?
From what I understood sucrose is composed of fructose (an isomer of glucose) and glucose of which the molecule sucrose is comprised of. The human body breaks down sucrose and then fructose in the liver into just glucose for the body to use for fuel.
- surrealize 15y agoYes, a sucrose molecule can be broken down. But the full sucrose molecule still behaves differently from the glucose/fructose mix that it was being compared to. Even if the glucose/fructose mix was exactly 50%/50%, that mixture of glucose and fructose molecules would still behave differently from a pure sucrose solution.
