Dextrose Monohydrate Ip/bp Usage: For Passengers Loading

Dextrose
Monhydrate-Food Grade

It
is a white crystalline odourless powder, sweet in taste.

Advantages:

• 
  It
  is a sweetner with sweetness of about 75% of the sucrose.
• 
  It
  imparts flavour to the food preparations when added alone or in
  combination with other sweetener.
• 
  It
  iproduces desirable brown colour in cakes, biscuits , caramel etc.
• 
  It
  is the simplest carbon source monosaccharide and used extensively
  in fermentation process for rapid growth with excellent yield, no
  nonfermentable sugars, low level of trace minerals organics, few
  leftovers to purify and consistency.
• 
  It
  helps in extending shelf life of many food products.

Description:

Dextrose
is a natural sugar occuring widely in nature. Commercially, dextrose
is produced by hydrolysing starch followed by purification,
concentration and crystallisation.

It
is a white crystalline powder with molecular formula C₆H₁₂O_6
, H₂0
and molecular weight 198 and is readily soluble in water. Its CAS
registry No. is 50-99-7. The heat of solution of dextrose monohydrate
at 25 C is -105.5 J/g and due to such a high negative heat of
solution, dextrose gives cooling effect in mouth. It possesses GRAS
status.

Application:

• Dextrose
  is used as energy food by convalescing patient , sportsperson ,
  children etc. It is very commonly referred to as brain food and
  known to give instant energy and vigour.
• 
  Dextrose
  is used in fermentation industry as a single carbon source-
  nutrient.
• 
  Dextrose
  is used in dye preparations as a carrier and eco-friendly reducing
  agent.

Storage:
Dextrose in bags should be
stored in clean dry area.

Availability:
Dextrose monohydrate is available in 25 Kgs HDPE bags with inside
polythene liner.
