But can table sugar be made from the glucose and fructose in HFCS?

I can turn dissolved sugar back to crystalline sugar. Can you do the same with HFCS to get crystalline sugar.

Your earlier replies didn’t answer that, and I’m asking again. If the two are the same, why not? If they can be made, how so?

I suppose. I don't see what the motive would be. HFCS have advantages over sucrose. Sucrose is already available without having to derive it from HFCS.

The term 'sugar' generally refers to sucrose. Crystalline sugar is sucrose.

If one were to make sucrose from HFCS, it would still be sucrose, and still have the same chemical composition.

Yes, but you will have a bit of fructose left over.
