However, this initial study was criticized [17] for not measuring other trace sugars (e.g., maltose) thought to be present in SSBs made with HFCS. Therefore, 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.
