E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is a type of sugar made up of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose joined together. 

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is a disaccharide, a molecule composed of two monosaccharides: glucose and fructose. 
Sucrose is produced naturally in plants, from which white sugar is refined and crystalized. 

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) has the molecular formula C12H22O11.
For human consumption, sucrose is extracted and refined from either sugarcane or sugar beet. 

Sugar mills – typically located in tropical regions near where sugarcane is grown – crush the cane and produce raw sugar which is shipped to other factories for refining into pure sucrose. 
Sugar beet factories are located in temperate climates where the beet is grown, and process the beets directly into refined sugar. 

The sugar refining process involves washing the raw sugar crystals before dissolving them into a sugar syrup which is filtered and then passed over carbon to remove any residual colour. 
E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is then concentrated by boiling under a vacuum and crystallized as the final purification process to produce crystals of pure sucrose that are clear, odorless, and sweet.

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is often an added ingredient in food production and food recipes. 
About 185 million tonnes of sugar were produced worldwide in 2017.

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is particularly dangerous from the point of view of tooth decay because Streptococcus mutans bacteria convert it into a sticky, extracellular, dextran-based polysaccharide that allows them to cohere, forming plaque. 
E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is the only sugar that bacteria can use to form this sticky polysaccharide.

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate), the monomers glucose and fructose are linked via an ether bond between C1 on the glucosyl subunit and C2 on the fructosyl unit. 
The bond is called a glycosidic linkage. 

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) exists predominantly as a mixture of α and β "pyranose" anomers, but sucrose has only the α form. 
E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) exists as a mixture of five tautomers but sucrose has only the β-D-fructofuranose form. 

Unlike most disaccharides, the glycosidic bond in sucrose is formed between the reducing ends of both glucose and fructose, and not between the reducing end of one and the non-reducing end of the other. 
This linkage inhibits further bonding to other saccharide units, and prevents sucrose from spontaneously reacting with cellular and circulatory macromolecules in the manner that glucose and other reducing sugars do. 

Since E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) contains no anomeric hydroxyl groups, it is classified as a non-reducing sugar.
E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) breaks the glycosidic bond converting sucrose into glucose and fructose. 

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is, however, so slow that solutions of sucrose can sit for years with negligible change. 
If the enzyme sucrase is added, however, the reaction will proceed rapidly.

E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) can also be accelerated with acids, such as cream of tartar or lemon juice, both weak acids. Likewise, gastric acidity converts sucrose to glucose and fructose during digestion, the bond between them being an acetal bond which can be broken by an acid.
E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is present in many plants, and in particular their roots, fruits and nectars, because it serves as a way to store energy, primarily from photosynthesis.

Although honeybees consume sucrose, the honey they produce consists primarily of fructose and glucose, with only trace amounts of sucrose.
As fruits ripen, their sucrose content usually rises sharply, but some fruits contain almost no sucrose at all. 

This includes grapes, cherries, blueberries, blackberries, figs, pomegranates, tomatoes, avocados, lemons and limes.
E444 (Sucrose acetate isobutyrate) is a glycosyl glycoside formed by glucose and fructose units joined by an acetal oxygen bridge from hemiacetal of glucose to the hemiketal of the fructose.
