Uses
Dextrose Monohydrate uses in the food industry are vast. The coordinated water lends the desired physical properties for food manufacturing.
These can include:
boiling and freezing/melting points
preservation
humectancy
sweetness
browning reaction effects
gelation
viscosity
Benefits
1. Reducing the sugar - it really is a reducing sugar meaning that it can reduce alkaline solutions.
2. Crystal form - At room temperature, it is in crystalline form.
3. Sweetness Control - Is among the sweetest starch which explains why it provides many applications inside the food industry.
4. Solubility - Is very soluble naturally in when it is within the water, hardly soluble in organic solvents, yet it is slightly soluble in ethanol.
5. Freezing point - Includes a low molecular weight which make it viable for producing frozen treats.
