Dextrose
Industrial Applications
Dextrose is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a sugar source for fermentation in products like beer, wine, and yogurt. It also functions as a cryoprotectant in frozen foods and as a humectant in baked goods, helping to retain moisture and improve texture.
Physical Properties
Dextrose is a naturally occurring simple sugar and the D-isomer of glucose. It is highly soluble in water, less sweet than sucrose, and typically appears as a white crystalline powder. Its hygroscopic nature allows it to absorb moisture from the environment, which contributes to its effectiveness as a humectant.
