Dextrose Monohydrate
Dextrose Monohydrate, also known as Dextrose Sugar, is a natural monosaccharide and carbohydrate; a simple sugar that is roughly 20-30% less sweet than regular sugar.
This cornstarch-sourced material is an odorless, white crystalline powder with a sweet flavor profile. Dextrose Monohydrate may be used in place of Sucrose for a milder sweet flavor and fewer calories, in common culinary items such as baked goods, powdered beverages, syrups, ice cream, and glazes. Nutraceutical and sports nutrition manufacturers may opt to replace regular sugar or other alternative sweeteners with Dextrose Monohydrate. Additionally, this material is often found in products to act as a binding agent such as in oral capsules.
