Dextrose Monohydrate
Dextrose monohydrate, commonly referred to as simply dextrose, is a crystalline form of glucose. It is widely used in various industries, including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, due to its sweetness, solubility, and energy-providing properties.
Dextrose monohydrate is derived from starches, typically corn starch, through enzymatic hydrolysis and purification processes. In India, dextrose monohydrate is produced in facilities that adhere to stringent quality standards to ensure purity and safety for consumption. The production process involves converting the starch into glucose and then crystallizing it into a fine, white powder form.
Indian dextrose monohydrate production focuses on maintaining high purity levels and consistent quality characteristics. It is recognized for its rapid solubility in water, making it ideal for various applications in food processing, such as sweeteners, texturizers, and bulking agents. Dextrose monohydrate is also utilized in pharmaceutical formulations as a source of energy and in cosmetics for its moisturizing properties.
