Sucrose

The sucrose molecule is comprised of glucose and fructose.

Goran says HFCS contains more fructose, or fruit sugar, than other sweeteners, such as sucrose or table sugar.

There were four forms of sugar interesting to the physiologist---cane sugar, grape sugar, milk sugar, and liver sugar. They might be called, for the sake of distinction, sucrose, glucose, lactose, and hepatose. The first two were vegetable, the last two, animal products.

Dextran is an indicator of cane deterioration and sucrose loss after harvesting of the cane.
