Dextrose Monohydrate, also known as Glucose Monohydrate, is a white crystalline powder derived from corn starch.
Dextrose Monohydrate is a natural sweetener that is easily absorbed by the body, providing a quick source of energy. With moderate sweetness, it is commonly used as a bulking agent in food and beverage production.
Dextrose Monohydrate serves multiple functions in the food and beverage industry—as a sweetener, thickener, and bulking agent.
It is widely used in baking, confectionery, beverages, dairy products, and processed foods. Additionally, it finds applications in the pharmaceutical and medical industries as a glucose source in intravenous fluids.
Dextrose Monohydrate is from 100% Natural Maize Starch Origin and Kosher Certified.

Dextrose Monohydrate is one of two common derivatives of dextrose used in the food manufacturing industry, the other being dextrose anhydrous. It is widely used as a sweetener in confectioneries, baking, desserts, and beverages, as well as an additive in pharmaceuticals and supplements.
With a lower sweetening strength than sugar, dextrose monohydrate dissolves into a clear solution, offering manufacturers flexibility in flavor and color for a variety of products.
Highly soluble in water, it forms a clear, colorless solution, making it valuable in numerous food and beverage applications.
Dextrose Monohydrate is a simple sugar derived from corn or wheat and is chemically identical to glucose (blood sugar). It is commonly used in baking as a sweetener and is often found in processed foods and corn syrup.
Dextrose Monohydrate is widely used as a bulking agent, thickener, stabilizer, and sweetener in the food and beverage industry. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, sauces, soups, instant drinks, protein bars, and many other products to enhance texture, flavor, and sweetness.
Athletes often use Dextrose Monohydrate to quickly replenish energy reserves and improve performance. It is commonly included in supplements, sports drinks, and energy bars.
Dextrose Monohydrate serves as a moisturizing agent in cosmetic and personal care products, helping to hydrate and smooth the skin.
In food processing, Dextrose Monohydrate is used as a carrier for flavors, colors, and other powdered ingredients, ensuring even distribution throughout the final product.
