The Natural Aspect of Sucrose. Sucrose is made out of two sugars, fructose and glucose. Known as âfruit sugar,â fructose is found in all types of fruits and honey, as well as a few vegetables.Fruits also contain glucose. Despite coming from nature, sucrose contains few nutrients but is still caloric.Too much sugar consumption may lead to obesity.he Natural Aspect of Sucrose.

These factors raise concerns about chronically high intakes of dietary fructose, because it appears to behave more like fat in the body than like other carbohydrates. Sucrose Sucrose is commonly known as table sugar, and is obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets. Fruits and vegetables also naturally contain sucrose. When sucrose is consumed, the enzyme beta-fructosidase separates sucrose into its individual sugar units of glucose and fructose. Both sugars are then taken up by their specific transport mechanisms. The body responds to the glucose content of the meal in its usual manner; however, fructose uptake occurs at the same time.
