Q1: What is the difference between glucose and dextrose?
A: In the food industry, “dextrose” usually refers to the commercially produced D-glucose, typically from corn starch hydrolysis. They are chemically the same. “D-Glucose Monohydrate” is the crystalline form containing one water molecule.
Q2: How sweet is it compared to sugar?
A: D-Glucose (Dextrose) is about 70-80% as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), making it less sweet and useful for balancing sweetness profiles.
Q3: Is it suitable for diabetic products?
A: No, D-Glucose is a simple sugar that raises blood glucose levels rapidly. It is not suitable for diabetic foods. For reduced-glycemic products, consider sweeteners like isomaltulose or polyols.
Q4: Why is it used in bakery?
A: In baking, it serves as a fermentable sugar for yeast, contributes to Maillard browning (color), and helps retain moisture, extending shelf life.
Q5: What is the MOQ?
A: Standard MOQ is 1 metric ton (40 bags of 25kg). Truckload or container load orders are common.
Q6: Do you supply food and pharmaceutical grades?
A: Yes, we supply food-grade (FCC) and can also provide USP/Pharmaceutical grade D-Glucose Monohydrate upon request.
