General Description
Dextrose Monohydrate is a naturally derived carbohydrate obtained from starch hydrolysis and crystallized with one molecule of water. It appears as a white, crystalline powder and is widely used as an energy source, sweetening agent, and fermentation substrate across food, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
The product is valued for its high purity, consistent sweetness profile, and rapid solubility, making it suitable for applications where controlled energy release and formulation stability are essential.
Chemical Properties
• Molecular Weight: 198.17 g/mol
• Physical State: White Crystalline Powder
• Boiling/Melting Point: 146 °C (295 °F)
• Solubility: Dextrose is highly soluble in water. At room temperature, approximately 1 gram of dextrose can dissolve in about 0.6 mL of water, making it easily incorporated into various solutions. It is also soluble in alcohol, but not in organic solvents like ether
○ pH: 4.5 to 7.0
Technical Specification
• Purity Levels: 99%
• Concentration:
• Food and Beverage Products: Common concentrations range from 5% to 20% in products like sports drinks, syrups, and candies.
• Medical Solutions: Intravenous (IV) dextrose solutions typically come in concentrations such as 5% (D5W), 10% (D10W), or 50% (D50W), depending on the clinical needs.
Applications
Dextrose Monohydrate is used across multiple industries due to its functional and nutritional properties.
Food Industry: Used as a sweetener in candies, baked goods, and beverages, enhancing flavor and preserving moisture.
Sports Nutrition: Commonly found in energy drinks and supplements for quick energy replenishment during physical activity.
Medical Application: Administered in intravenous (IV) fluids for hydration and as an energy source for patients unable to eat.
