Character: Dextrose is the most widely distributed and the most important monosaccharide in nature, which is a polyhydroxy aldehyde containing five hydroxyl groups and one aldehyde, so it has the characters of both polyhydric alcohol and aldehyde; Dextrose is the purified and crystalized dextrose anhydrate or dextrose monohydrate, its solution specific rotatory direction is right; it is white odorless crystalline particles or crystalline powder, slightly sweet with sweetness about 70% of sucrose, it is soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether.
Applications: Dextrose is mainly used in the food industry as nutrient sweeteners, water retention agent and modifier; as biological nutrient in biological medium preparation; as nutritional supplement in pharmaceutical industry and as reducing agent, sugar substitute, molding and processing additives etc.
