Dextrose Monohydrate

Dextrose Monohydrate

Dextrose Monohydrate is a sugar naturally found in the body which is produced by wringing corn starch or other carbohydrate sources. It is the 1-Hydrate of D-Glucose and has a chemical formula of C₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O, which refers to a compound that contains one molecule of water of

crystallization, therefore making it a crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water with a mild sweetness. The extensively applied simple sugar found in multiple industries such as food, pharma, and agriculture, owing to its energy-donating role and being a reducing sugar.

Benefits

  • Natural Sweetener
  • The source of sweetness is natural and has lower caloric content than some other sugars.
  • High Solubility
  • It is highly soluble in water, making it a great option for liquid formulations and solutions.
  • Energy Source
  • Fast and effective energy supplier in forma like Animal feed and sports supplements.
  • Non-Toxic and Safe
  • Considered safe for consumption or use in food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, and many other applications.
  • Versatile
  • Acts as a sweetener, humectant, bulking agent and fermentation substrate, can be used in a variety of applications.

Uses

  • Food and Beverage Industry
  • Sweetener: For confectionery, bakery products, jams and jellies.
  • Energy Drink: Fast Energy in Sports and Nutrition Drinks
  • Preservative: Keep product feeling fresh, lower the water activity so the bacteria cannot grow.
