DEXTROSE MONOHYDRATE

Dextrose monohydrate is the hydrated form of the D isomer of glucose. It is also known as hydrated D-glucose. Dextrose monohydrate is usually derived from plant starches like corn starch and potato starch. Besides its applications in the food and beverage industry and the pharmaceutical industry, it is also the monomer for maltodextrin. Compared to glucose, dextrose monohydrate is metabolized faster by the body. Thus, it is a popular ingredient to be added to intravenous (IV) fluid and oral rehydration salts as it produces energy quickly.A white crystalline powder or colourless crystal of dextrose monohydrate is a sugar that's odourless, white, and crystalline in appearance. It's widely utilised in the food sector and may help replace sucrose in baked goods, dairy products, canned goods, chewing gum, and preserves, among other things. The other uses of this ingredient include beverage powders, caramel colouring, and different formulations where it helps increase the shelf life of the product. Keeping powdered beverage drinks flowing is made more accessible by the presence of dextrose.
