Product Overview
Dextrose is available in two commercial forms: Dextrose Anhydrous and Dextrose Monohydrate. With a clean, mild sweetness of about 70% sucrose, It acts as bulk sweetener and instant energy source, widely applied in energy supplements, confectionery, bakery, fermentation and pharmaceutical excipients. It is a natural monosaccharide that can be directly absorbed by human body for rapid energy replenishment, also used as texture regulator and fermentation substrate for food and industrial production.
Key Characteristics
1.Directly absorbable by the human body for instant energy supply
2.Sweetness around 70% of sucrose, clean and mild taste
3.Highly soluble in water
4.Excellent fermentation substrate for microbial growth
5.Helps adjust texture and stabilize food systems
6.Two available forms to meet different production requirements
Main Functions
1.Instant Energy Source: Directly absorbed by the human body to quickly replenish energy, ideal for energy supplements and sports nutrition products.
2.Bulk Sweetener: Provides sweetness and volume in food and beverage formulations.
3.Fermentation Substrate: Serves as a readily available carbon source for microbial fermentation in food and industrial production.
4.Texture Regulator: Adjusts texture, controls crystallization and improves mouthfeel in confectionery and baked goods.
5.Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a carrier and sweetener in tablets, oral solutions and rehydration preparations.
Applications
1.Energy & Sports Nutrition Used in energy drinks, sports drinks, protein powders and recovery supplements for rapid energy replenishment.
2.Confectionery & Bakery Applied in candies, cookies, cakes and pastries as a bulk sweetener and texture modifier.
3.Fermentation Industry Serves as a primary carbon source for brewing, amino acid production, yeast and enzyme fermentation.
4.Dairy & Beverages Used in flavored milk, yogurt and bottled beverages to enhance sweetness and body.
5.Pharmaceuticals Applied in oral rehydration salts, tablet excipients, syrups and vitamin preparations.
6.Feed Additives Used in animal feed as an energy source and palatability enhancer.
