Dextrose is the simple name given to crystalline D-glucose. It is a monosaccharide sugar and contains a molecule of water of crystallization. Dextrose is produced by enzyme-enzyme hydrolysis of starch (usually corn starch). Powdered dextrose crystals are colorless and transparent and have a mild and sweet taste. Compared to sucrose, it has 65-70% sweetness. The concentration based on dry matter is 71%. It is used in various food and medicine industries. The viscosity of its solution is much lower than that of liquid glucose. It is readily soluble in water at room temperature as well as in boiling alcohol. The dissolution of dextrose crystals is heat-absorbing and therefore creates a cold and cool feeling in the mouth. Dextrose is available as monohydrate and without water (anhydrate).
Pharmaceutical user
To provide side benefits and API Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
is used As an excipient, it is an isotonic agent, and as an API it can act as a source
Carbohydrate and an osmotic agent should be used. These advantages in injection applications including injection in large volume, complete nutrition
Injectable and Rx excipients are possible. In dialysis, it can be used as an osmotic agent for hemodialysis and dialysis
Peritoneal (renal hemodialysis sera) used.
