Dextrose Monohydrate
Description
Dextrose monohydrate is the monohydrate form of D-glucose, a natural monosaccharide and carbohydrate derived from refined corn or plant starch through enzymatic hydrolysis, appearing as a white, odorless, crystalline powder with a sweet taste (about 65-70% as sweet as sucrose).
Key Properties
It is freely soluble in water at room temperature and boiling alcohol, with typical specifications including a dextrose equivalent of ≥99% (dry basis), moisture content of 7-10%, pH of 4.0-6.5, and specific rotation of +52.0° to +53.6°.
Applications
Serves as a filler, binder, and carbohydrate nutrient in pharmaceuticals for swallowable, chewable, and effervescent tablets.
Used in food products like confectionery, beverages, bakery items, ice creams, and canned goods to enhance texture, sweetness, and shelf life without overpowering flavors.
Acts as an energy source for medical applications, such as oral rehydration solutions (ORS) for dehydration and IV fluids.
