Dextrose Anhydrous

Dextrose Anhydrous is a high-purity, crystalline form of glucose that contains no water of crystallization, hence the term “anhydrous.”

 It is a simple sugar derived from corn starch through enzymatic hydrolysis, followed by purification and drying processes that remove all moisture content.

Chemically known as C₆H₁₂O₆, dextrose anhydrous appears as a white, odorless, and slightly sweet-tasting powder.

It is highly soluble in water, rapidly absorbed by the body, and serves as a quick source of energy making it a go-to ingredient in both medical and food-grade formulations.

Unlike dextrose monohydrate, which contains one molecule of water, dextrose anhydrous is more concentrated and stable. Its low moisture content makes it ideal for formulations requiring longer shelf life, minimal microbial growth risk, or precise moisture control.
