Application / Intended Use
Dextrose monohydrate is used as a bulk sweetener, fermentation substrate and tablet diluent. Confectionery and bakery use it for controlled browning and a cooling mouthfeel; fermentation plants use it as the primary carbon source for antibiotic, amino-acid and organic-acid production; pharmaceutical formulators use it as a directly compressible filler in chewable tablets, typically at 20-70% of tablet weight. In oral rehydration and sports nutrition it supplies rapidly available glucose.
