overview
About this sweetener - Dextrose
Description
Dextrose is a type of simple sugar, also known as glucose, and is a naturally occurring form of carbohydrate found in many foods and in the human body. Dextrose originates mainly from plant sources and is produced through the process of photosynthesis in plants.
It is important to note that although dextrose is a form of sugar, it is not the same as sucrose (table sugar), which is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose. Dextrose is pure glucose and is rapidly absorbed by the body, making it a quick source of energy.
Common sources of dextrose include:
- Corn: Dextrose is often derived from corn starch through hydrolysis processes in the food and pharmaceutical industry.
- Wheat: Wheat starch is also used as a source of dextrose in some production processes.
- Potatoes: Potatoes contain starch that can be converted into dextrose.
- Other cereals and tubers: Several other cereals and tubers contain starch that can be used to obtain dextrose.
- Once dextrose has been extracted from its original source, it is purified and used in various industrial, food and medical applications.
Characteristics
- Energy source: The main property of dextrose is its ability to provide energy to the human body. After being consumed, dextrose is rapidly broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream, making it an immediate source of energy for the body's cells
- Sweetener: In the food industry, dextrose is used as a sweetener in a variety of products. It adds sweetness to foods and beverages without leaving a bitter aftertaste.
- Stabiliserh: Dextrose is used as a stabiliser in food and pharmaceutical products to maintain the quality and freshness of products for a longer period of time
