Using a hypocycloidal electronic spectrometer, the interactions of low energy electrons (0–8.50 eV) with fructose molecules, namely, electron scattering and dissociative attachment, are studied. The results of these studies showed that the fragmentation of fructose molecules occurs effectively even at an electron energy close to zero. In the total electron-scattering cross section by molecules, resonance features (at energies ~3.10 and ~5.00 eV) were first observed near the formation thresholds of light ion fragments OH{sup –} and H{sup –}. The correlation of the features observed in the cross sections of electron scattering and dissociative attachment is analyzed.
