White Dextrose for Foods

Product Overview

Sourced directly from our strictly controlled processing facilities, White Dextrose for Foods (CAS No.: 5996-10-1)—also recognized as glucose monohydrate—is a premium monosaccharide derived through the precise enzymatic hydrolysis of non-GMO corn starch. As a dedicated manufacturer and supply chain partner for global food, beverage, and pharmaceutical brands, we ensure this finely milled, odorless white crystalline powder consistently meets rigorous international criteria. Delivering a clean, refreshing sweetness without artificial aftertastes, it functions as a highly efficient energy source and versatile functional ingredient for large-scale production.

• Certified Purity: Guaranteed ≥99.5% purity with a strictly maintained moisture content of 7.0%–9.0%.
• High Reactivity: Features a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 99+, ensuring optimal solubility in diverse commercial formulations.
• Global Compliance: Fully compliant with China’s GB 1886.173, USP, and FCC standards, facilitating safe international procurement.
• Economic Value: Provides 70% of the sweetening power of sucrose at a 30% lower cost, optimizing bulk manufacturing budgets.

Key Features & Highlights

Rapid Energy Supply: Formulated for immediate physiological uptake, this monosaccharide is absorbed into the bloodstream within 15–30 minutes of consumption. This rapid assimilation makes it an essential carbohydrate base for energy-boosting consumer packaged goods, including isotonic sports drinks, recovery gels, and performance nutrition bars.

Fermentation Promotion: Acting as a highly accessible carbon source for yeast and beneficial bacteria, it accelerates metabolic processes in commercial baking and brewing. Incorporating this ingredient increases fermentation efficiency by 20% in the production of bread, craft beer, and cultured dairy products like yogurt.

Moisture Retention: Through its ability to bind effectively to water molecules within baked matrices, it significantly improves crumb softness and delays starch retrogradation. This functional property extends the shelf life of commercial baked goods by 3–5 days, effectively preventing premature staleness in packaged bread and cakes.

Cost-Effective Sweetness: Engineered for high-volume manufacturing, it delivers 70% of the perceived sweetness of standard sucrose while operating at a 30% lower cost threshold. This allows formulators in the confectionery and beverage sectors to achieve desired flavor profiles while substantially reducing raw material expenditures.

Nutritional Value: Yielding exactly 3.4kcal/g, it serves as a natural, plant-derived source of glucose. Its clean extraction process from corn starch supports transparent “natural ingredient” labeling claims, aligning perfectly with modern consumer demands for recognizable and safe food components.

Usage & Applications

Baking Industry: Typically added at ratios of 5%–15% in commercial bread dough, it serves a dual purpose: feeding yeast for a vigorous rise and participating in the Maillard reaction to improve crust browning. In sponge cakes and pastries, it actively increases moisture retention, ensuring the crumb remains tender and fresh throughout its extended retail display period.

Sports Nutrition: Widely incorporated into ready-to-drink energy beverages and concentrated gels at 2%–8%. It is engineered to deliver instant caloric energy during intense physical exercise. For optimal intestinal absorption and sustained energy release, formulators frequently pair it with fructose in a precise 2:1 ratio.

Confectionery: Utilized at concentrations of 10%–30% in the mass production of hard candies, caramels, and fondants. It plays a critical role in controlling sucrose crystallization, resulting in a smooth, uniform mouthfeel while significantly reducing the risk of product breakage or graininess during transit and storage.

Pharmaceutical Industry: Due to its high purity and strict compliance with pharmacopeial standards, it is formulated into life-saving oral rehydration salts (ORS) at exactly 20g/L to effectively treat clinical dehydration. Furthermore, it acts as a highly compressible and stable excipient or filler in tablet manufacturing, typically comprising 20%–40% of the total tablet weight.

FAQ

Q: How should we store dextrose monohydrate to prevent caking in our warehouse?

A: To maintain optimal flowability, store the product in a climate-controlled, well-ventilated area maintained at 20°C–25°C, with relative humidity strictly ≤ 60%. Always keep the original polyethylene-lined kraft bags tightly sealed. If minor caking occurs due to environmental fluctuations, it can be easily reversed by gentle mechanical grinding. Under these proper conditions, the guaranteed shelf life is 24 months.

Q: What is the technical difference between dextrose monohydrate and anhydrous dextrose?

A: At a molecular level, dextrose monohydrate contains one molecule of crystalline water (which accounts for its 7.0%–9.0% moisture content), whereas anhydrous dextrose is completely water-free. In industrial applications, the monohydrate form is preferred for moist matrices (e.g., bread doughs, beverages, syrups), while the anhydrous variant is selected for ultra-dry mixes (e.g., dry cake powders, effervescent tablets) where moisture introduction must be avoided.

Q: Is this specific grade suitable for sensitive infant food formulations?

A: Yes, absolutely. Our product strictly meets WHO standards for infant nutrition. It undergoes rigorous heavy metal screening, guaranteeing lead levels ≤ 0.1ppm and arsenic levels ≤ 0.05ppm. Due to its exceptional purity and gentle digestive profile, it is commonly utilized in commercial infant cereals and formula milk at concentrations of 1%–3%.

Q: What are your standard packaging options and Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)?

A: We accommodate industrial procurement needs by offering standard 25kg or 50lb multi-wall kraft paper bags with inner moisture-barrier PE liners. For larger manufacturing operations, we also supply 1000kg bulk ton bags. Our MOQ is flexible depending on your geographical location and shipping terms, designed to support both pilot runs and full-scale continuous production.

Q: How do you guarantee batch-to-batch consistency for large-scale food manufacturers?

A: Consistency is maintained through our automated, closed-loop refining process. Every single batch undergoes comprehensive laboratory analysis—testing for precise DE levels, moisture content, and microbiological safety—before being issued a Certificate of Analysis (COA). We retain batch samples for traceability, ensuring your formulation performs identically with every delivery.

Product Description

Sensory Profile & Physical Characteristics:

Upon opening our industrial-grade packaging, formulators are greeted by an exceptionally fine, snow-white crystalline powder that is completely odorless. When tasted directly or evaluated in a liquid matrix, it dissolves rapidly on the tongue, delivering a mild, clean, and refreshing sweetness that is entirely free from the lingering, metallic aftertastes often associated with artificial sweeteners. Its uniform particle size ensures a smooth, non-gritty texture that integrates effectively into both liquid suspensions and solid dry blends.

Functional Performance & Processing Behavior:

Beyond its sweetening capabilities, this ingredient acts as a highly functional component during manufacturing. It exhibits a negative heat of solution, providing a subtle, pleasant cooling sensation that is highly desirable in dry confectionery mixes and breath-freshening products. Its inherent ability to manage water activity not only enhances the mouthfeel of baked goods but also stabilizes emulsions in dairy and beverage applications, preventing phase separation over time.

Sourcing & Clean Label Appeal:

Derived exclusively from the enzymatic conversion of premium corn starch, our dextrose represents a natural, plant-based carbohydrate solution. This transparent origin allows food and beverage manufacturers to confidently meet the growing consumer demand for “clean label” products, replacing heavily processed or synthetic alternatives with an ingredient that is universally recognized and trusted by regulatory bodies and consumers alike.
