Dextrose Monohydrate

Dextrose Monohydrate 

Dextrose monohydrate is the monohydrated form of D-glucose from corn starch hydrolysis, offering rapid gastrointestinal absorption for immediate energy. In the food industry, it serves as a fermentable sugar for yeast activation in baking, provides clean sweetness in confections, and controls crystallization while binding moisture in fillings and beverages.

Food Industry Applications

• Confectionery: Controls crystal size in hard candies, gums, and fondants for smooth texture and prevents graining during storage.

• Bakery products: Rapidly ferments in bread doughs for consistent rise while sweetening fruit fillings with high solubility and clarity.

• Sports beverages: Delivers immediate carbohydrate energy in energy drinks and gels for quick muscle refueling during exercise.

• Dry mixes: Dissolves instantly in instant puddings, beverage powders, and baking mixes without clumping or graininess.

• Processed meats: Acts as humectant and flavor enhancer in sausages, enhancing browning and moisture retention during cooking.

Other Industry Applications

In the cosmetics industry, functions as humectant in creams and lotions; in the paper industry, provides reducing sugar functionality in sizing; in the fermentation industry, produces ethanol, citric acid, and lactic acid.
