Introduction of Dextrose Anhydrous.
Dextrose anhydrous is a form of glucose, which is a simple sugar. It is called "anhydrous" because it is essentially glucose without water. In its pure form, dextrose anhydrous appears as a white, crystalline powder. It is commonly produced by the hydrolysis of starch, typically corn starch, and subsequent purification processes. Dextrose anhydrous is widely used in various industries, including food production, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications, for its sweetening properties, its role as a carbohydrate source, and its function as a bulking agent or stabilizer in formulations.
