Explanation of Dextrose Monohydrate

Dextrose Monohydrate

Glucose ( C6H12O6, also known as D-glucose, dextrose, or grape sugar) is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) and an important carbohydrate in biology. Cells use it as the primary source of energy and a metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and fuels for cellular respiration.

Dextrose monohydrate (D-glucose) is a sugar that's a stable, odorless, white crystalline powder or colorless crystal. In its pure form, dextrose monohydrate has a dextrose equivalency (DE) of 100, which indicates that it's 100% pure Dextrose, not a mixture with other substances as well. Dextrose equivalency is a good value to know when purchasing Dextrose supplies.

Dextrose monohydrate is available in the form of white free flowing crystalline powder. It is a kind of sugar which is produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. It ontains one molecule of water of hydration and finds usage in various industries, from food to pharmaceutical and cattle/poultry feed to industrial applications.
