Process of Making Artificial Sucrose

• The process how glucose and fructose form sucrose
  is called Dehydration.This process is
  artificial, you have to remove an hydroxide
  molecule and a hydrogen molecule.  The natural
  process would be the other way around  If
  sucrose is combined with water, it would split
  into fructose and glucose.

Table Sugar

• The sucrose is made of glucose (C6H12O6) and
  fructose (C6H12O6).  Even though they have the
  same composition, their molecule-structure is
  different as shown in the graphic.  These two
  substances are the naturally product of sucrose,
  when it moldered.  When you remove a OH molecule
  from the glucose molecule and an O atom from the
  fructose molecule, the removed atoms form water.
   The remained O atom at the fructose molecule
  wants to form a bond, and the glucosemolecule,
  has a new free spot.  The two molecules are being
  combined through an oxygen-bridge of the remained
  O atom.  Thats how they form the bigger molecule
  sucrose.  The equation isC6H12O6   C6H12O6
   ? C12H22O11 H2O
