the aims of the present study were to: 1) reexamine the fructose content in previously tested beverages using two additional assay methods capable of detecting other sugars, especially maltose; 2) compare data across all methods to determine the actual free fructose-to-glucose (F:G) ratio in beverages made either with or without HFCS, and 3) expand the analysis to determine fructose content in commonly consumed juice products.
