Talk:glucose/fructose

This should be deleted. glucose/fructose means "glucose and fructose", and HFCS is made of glucose and fructose (and water), but that doesn't make them the same thing. Fugyoo 08:19, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

That is exactly why it should not be deleted, it doesn't mean chemical glucose and chemical fructose, it is the term used to refer to high fructose corn syrup in some countries, and you apparently didn't know that, clearly that convinces me that its inclusion is not only necessary but beneficial.Acdcrocks 08:22, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Your citations don't show that at the moment. I think there might be a case for glucose-fructose syrup, it's used in The Times: "High-fructose corn syrup, or glucose-fructose syrup, is listed as an ingredient in many food and drink products in Britain" Fugyoo 08:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

That's Britain, this term is used in Canada, HFCS is used in the United States, its vary regionalized.Acdcrocks 08:49, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

glucose/fructose
Not a set term, IMO. < class="latinx" >Ƿidsiþ 08:21, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

It Canada its their term for high fructose corn syrup.Acdcrocks 08:51, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep if (and only if) accurate, the definition says "high fructose corn syrup", that is a noun referring to a specific type of syrup. Can this meaning be cited? The current citation seems not to refer to that. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:47, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * User has added more citations; looks like it's ok, I think. Mglovesfun (talk) 09:51, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Nah! The first usex is just the ratio of glucose to fructose. The second, biochemical usex definitely does not refer to corn syrup! The third and eighth are close but use a "-" instead of a "/". The fourth, fifth and seventh just looks like "a glucose and fructose mixture" to me. The sixth actually looks real!! ("Glucose/fructose is a generic term for high fructose corn syrup or HFCS") - so we just need two more like that. SemperBlotto 10:13, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say the 2008 and 2009 (2) citations are both ok, the remaining three are all for other meanings. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:23, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * "glucose-fructose" has an official definition as an ingredient: "glucose syrups and isomerized glucose syrups, singly or in combination, where the fructose fraction does not exceed 60 percent of the sweetener on a dry basis" Fugyoo 11:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll let SemperBlotto take care of the definitions marked . Mglovesfun (talk) 12:02, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I figured if there is more than one definition evidenced by the usage well why not separate it all.Acdcrocks 12:28, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * "All words in all languages!" DCDuring TALK 13:08, 12 October 2011 (UTC)!
 * glucose: and fructose: are both words - this is two words separated by punctuation. SemperBlotto 14:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep in Canadian context. DAVilla 16:17, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
