Detailed explanation-1: -Sucrase, another activity of the dextrinase/isomaltase enzyme, cleaves sucrose to glucose and fructose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrase is the intestinal enzyme that aids in the breakdown of sucrose (table sugar) into glucose and fructose, which are used by the body as fuel.
Detailed explanation-3: -The enzyme sucrase, which is made by the lining of your small intestine, splits sucrose into glucose and fructose.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sucrose is actually two simpler sugars stuck together: fructose and glucose. In recipes, a little bit of acid (for example, some lemon juice or cream of tartar) will cause sucrose to break down into these two components.
Detailed explanation-5: -When you eat sucrose, it splits into glucose and fructose and those sugars are individually metabolized as explained above. Glucose is always the first sugar the body uses for energy. Any excess fructose not needed for energy will be used to make fat. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) has 55% fructose and 45% glucose.
