Bulk Dextrose

Bulk Dextrose

Dextrose is a non-sucrose “sugar,” naturally occurring in many plants, fruits, and honey. In animals, dextrose – also called “glucose” and “grape sugar” – is a vital constituent of blood and is directly metabolized for immediate energy needs.


Like fructose and glucose, dextrose is a monosaccharide or simple sugar. Simple sugars are combined to produce complex sugars, like sucrose.


Dextrose is used in food and beverages as a sweetener, browning agent, humectant, or fermentation substrate. Additionally, it is only 80% as sweet as sucrose and is available in liquid and dry forms.
