Dextrose Monohydrate

Dextrose Monohydrate is:

• Odorless
• An excellent binder
• Water-soluble
• A white, crystalline powder

In a tablet, Dextrose Monohydrate will work as a sweetener. Dextrose Monohydrate is a constituent of glycogen, starch and cellulose. It is just like common sugar. The dextrose you receive will be in a powder form. At room temperature, it will remain in crystalline form. It will dissolve in water and is slightly soluble in ethanol.

Dextrose Monohydrate provides the body with water and sugar. It supplies four calories per gram and contains 9% water by weight. It is often used by people suffering from low blood sugar. In a tablet, this ingredient can supply energy to a user. It is used in medicines and the food industry. Dextrose Monohydrate is a “reducing sugar” and is used in many food stuffs. The elements that affect food are also applicable to a tablet. Dextrose Monohydrate can improve the quality of your tablet and provide a pleasant taste. It is economically priced and safe for consumption on a regular basis.

Dextrose Monohydrate and its many uses have resulted in a refined manufacturing process. It is a simple sugar produced by the hydrolysis of starch. Corn starch, where glucose comes from, is a chain composed of dextrose chains. Hydrolysis is a process that works to break down these chains and create dextrose in a bulk. A common way to do this is to treat starch with the enzymes amylase, or treatment with acid, which imitates the processes that occur naturally. In the body, digestion of starch starts in the mouth with saliva, or enzyme amylase. Manufacturers have taken the natural process and replicated it in their own production methods.

Dextrose Monohydrate has long been providing humans a satisfying flavor in their meals. If used properly it can help people by providing energy and fluids. Consumers will swallow a pill with ease if they have a sweetener to look forward to. Dextrose Monohydrate will also fit easily into many formulas because of its inertness.
