Dextrose Monohydrate or D-Glucose Molecular Formula C6H12O6, H2O is a white crystalline powder, odourless and sweet to taste. Two Stereo Isomers of the Aldexho sugars are known as Glucose, only one of which is Bio-Logically active. This form is often reffered to as Dextrose Monohydrate or especially in the food industry as simply Dextrose. It usually obtained by the hydrolysis of starch and contains one molecule of water of hydration.DMH is moderate in sweetness. It is 65-70% as sweet as sucrose and has a solution which is much less viscous than Liquid Glucose. DMH is freely soluble in water at room temperature and also in boiling alcohol.The perceived sweetness can be increased to the level of sucrose in some Dextrose/Sucrose blends. Dextrose has a greater depression of freezing point than that of cane sugar, resulting in a smoother and creamier texture of the final products namely frozen food products. The bulk density of DMH is 0.65 to 0.70 kg/cc.
