Dextrose Monohydrate (D-glucose) is a sugar that's a stable, odourless, white crystalline powder or colourless crystal. In its pure form, it has a dextrose equivalency (DE) of 100, which indicates that it's 100% pure Dextrose, not a mixture with other substances as well. It is extensively used in food industry and can provide support in replacing sucrose in baking, dairy products, canned products, chewing gum and preserves. Other than this, it is also used in beverage powders, in caramel colouring and other compositions where it supports extended shelf life of the products. The presence of dextrose also supports keeping powdered beverage drinks free flowing.

Applications:

• It is a sweetener with sweetness of about 75% of the sucrose
• It is used as flavour to the food preparations when added alone or in combination with other sweetener.
• It is the simplest carbon source monosaccharide and used extensively in fermentation process for rapid growth with excellent yield, no non-fermentable sugars, low level of trace minerals organics, few leftovers to purify and consistency.
• It is used in extending shelf life of many food products.
