According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health, a fructose dehydrogenase-based enzymatic assay proved to be highly specific for detecting fructose in serum with minimal cross-reactivity from other sugars. This highlights the need for precise techniques when you want to measure fructose in various matrices, from biological samples to processed foods.

Scientific research shows that soluble sugars play a critical role as signaling molecules and osmoprotectants in plants under stress. This guide will detail how to calculate total soluble sugars, covering the precise, lab-based Anthrone method and the rapid, field-friendly refractometry technique for accurate measurements in various samples.
