What Is Dextrose?
Dextrose is the common name for D-glucose, a naturally occurring monosaccharide and one of the most fundamental sugars used in food manufacturing. It is typically produced through the hydrolysis of starch, most commonly from corn, and is available in crystalline or powdered forms. Chemically identical to glucose found in the body, dextrose is readily absorbed and metabolised, making it an efficient source of energy.
Why Choose Our Dextrose
Our dextrose is sourced from trusted European producers and manufactured to deliver consistent quality, purity, and performance. With excellent solubility, neutral flavour, and reliable sweetness, it integrates seamlessly into a wide range of formulations. Suitable for clean label applications and supported by dependable supply and technical expertise, our dextrose helps manufacturers achieve precision, consistency, and scalability.
Applications of Dextrose
Dextrose is highly versatile and used across multiple categories, including:
-
Bakery & Confectionery – Supports browning, sweetness, and texture development through Maillard reactions.
-
Beverages – Provides rapid sweetness and energy, with excellent solubility in cold and hot systems.
-
Sports & Clinical Nutrition – Acts as a fast-release carbohydrate for energy replenishment.
-
Fermented Products – Serves as a fermentable sugar for yeast and bacterial cultures.
-
Processed Foods & Sauces – Enhances flavour balance and contributes to mouthfeel.
Properties of Dextrose
Dextrose offers several key functional properties:
-
Mild, clean sweetness (less sweet than sucrose)
-
High solubility and rapid dissolution
-
Strong reducing sugar activity (supports browning reactions)
-
Fast energy release due to rapid absorption
-
Contributes to bulk and solids without excessive sweetness
These properties make dextrose especially valuable where functional performance is required alongside controlled sweetness.
