Glucose (Dextrose) monohydrate

Description

Appearance — white crystalline powder, sweet in taste, without foreign taste Solubility — water-soluble Physico-chemical properties — highly soluble in water, hardly soluble in 95% ethanol, practically insoluble in ether and chloroform Storage — store in a light-tight, well-ventilated, dry and cool place at a temperature not exceeding 25°C and relative humidity ≤ 75% Shelf life — 24 months Glucose (dextrose) is a crystalline powder, sweet in taste, produced on an industrial scale by acid-enzymatic hydrolysis of corn or wheat starch. In crystallized form, this natural sugar is traditionally used as a sweetener and texturing agent or as a fermenting substrate. Since dextrose monohydrate does not mask the aroma and taste, it is widely used in the production of canned fruit, frozen fruits, ice cream, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. In the production of ice cream, dextrose lowers the freezing point and increases its hardness. In the production of canned fruit, juices, liqueurs, wines, soft drinks, glucose does not mask the aroma and taste. In the dairy industry, in the manufacture of dairy products and baby food, it is recommended to use dextrose (glucose) in a certain proportion with sucrose to give these products a higher nutritional value. In veterinary medicine, as an anticoagulant, dextrose also stimulates the synthesis of hormones and enzymes in the body of animals, increases the body's defenses. In poultry farming, glucose is used to strengthen the body and increase the nutritional value of feed. In the pharmaceutical industry, injections (when glucose is metabolized in tissues, a significant amount of energy is released, which is necessary for the vital activity of the body). In the confectionery industry, dextrose monohydrate is used in the manufacture of soft candies, pralines, dessert varieties of chocolate, chocolate bars, waffles, biscuits, cakes, dietary and other products. In baking, dextrose improves fermentation conditions, promotes the formation of a beautiful golden brown crust, uniform porosity and good taste, slows down hardening. In the meat and poultry processing industry, dextrose monohydrate is widely used as a preservative and flavor regulator. It is also used as a bodybuilding product – all creatine transport systems have one common component – dietary glucose, and dextrose, which is mainly sugar, helps creatine transport systems work better than ordinary creatine in most people.
