The major component of honey is:

  1. Glucose
  2. Sucrose
  3. Maltose
  4. Fructose

Explanation

Option (d) is correct
  • Honey mainly consists of simple sugars, of which fructose is the largest component, followed by glucose. Fructose gives honey its high sweetness and helps prevent crystallisation. Sucrose is present only in small quantities, while maltose occurs in even smaller amounts than fructose and glucose.
Answer: (d) Fructose
