Product Description

Dextrose is the common commercial name for D-glucose, the naturally occurring dextrorotatory form of glucose, a simple sugar classified as a monosaccharide. Its molecular formula, expressed in Hill notation, is C₆H₁₂O₆. In its refined commercial form, dextrose is a white crystalline solid that is freely soluble in water and less sweet than sucrose. The principal commercial raw material is starch, most commonly obtained from corn, although wheat, potato, rice, and cassava starches are also used. Industrial production generally begins with the gelatinization of starch, followed by enzymatic liquefaction with α-amylase, which hydrolyzes the long starch chains to form shorter dextrins. Saccharification with glucoamylase (amyloglucosidase) then hydrolyzes these dextrins and oligosaccharides to produce glucose. The resulting glucose liquor is clarified and typically subjected to decolorization, often using activated carbon, followed by demineralization using ion-exchange resins. The purified liquor is subsequently concentrated by evaporation and may be further processed to obtain the required crystalline or liquid dextrose product.
