In my experience the higher the solids content the faster that fructose
will granulate.
Corn Products explained to me that #55 fructose is 67% solids and unless
you can keep the product at a temp above 100 F that you run the risk of
granulation. They told me to add 10% water to the #55 and this would help
to eliminate this problem and not reduce the solids content below 50%.
#45 fructose does not have the solids that #55 does and will ferment
sometimes before the bees can use it.
