Details

Dextrose Monohydrate is a kind of white hexagonal crystal which used starch as the raw materials. It is used as a sweetener.

After Corn Starch being transformed into dextrose syrup by adopting double enzyme technique, it still needs processes such as removing residues, discoloring, removing salts through ion-exchange, then further through concentration, crystallization, dehydration, abstersion, evaporation, ect.

Dextrose of food grade is widely used in all kinds of foods and beverages replacing sucrose as sweeter and as the raw materials in pharmaceutical factory to produce Vitamin C and sorbitol, etc.

Function(Food grade):

1. Dextrose monohydrate is directly edible and can be used in confections, cakes, beverages, biscuits, torrefied foods, medicinal drugs jam jelly and honey products for better taste, quality and low cost.

2. For cakes and torrefied foods it can keep soft, and extend shelf life.

3. Dextrose Powder can be dissoluted, it can widely used in beverages and cold food.

4. The powder is used in artificial fiber industries.

5. The property of Dextrose Powder is similar to that of high maltose syrup, so that it is easy to be accepted in market
