View source for Density of Sugar Solutions

Empirical measurement of the density (g/ml) of fructose, glucose, and sucrose solutions.

Molarity	Fructose	Glucose	Sucrose

Fructose = Sigma F0127, MW 180

Glucose = Sigma G8270, MW 180

Sucrose = JT Baker 4097-06, MW 342

Note that sucrose is a disaccharide with almost 2x the MW of fructose and glucose; thus 1 M fructose = 180 g/L, while 1 M sucrose = 342 g/L.
