What is Dextrose Monohydrate?
Dextrose Monohydrate is a crystalline form of glucose that contains one molecule of water of hydration. It is a white, odorless, sweet-tasting powder commonly used as a sweetener, energy booster, bulking agent, and fermentation substrate across multiple industries including pharmaceuticals, food processing, animal feed, and industrial manufacturing.
Chemically known as C6H12O6·H2O, it is a simple sugar derived from the hydrolysis of starch (usually corn starch). It is highly soluble in water and metabolizes quickly in the body, making it ideal for oral rehydration salts (ORS), glucose tablets, energy drinks, and injectable IV fluids.
