D-Glucose Powder

Product Overview

D-Glucose Powder, also known as Dextrose Anhydrous, is a high-purity simple sugar derived from starch hydrolysis. It is fully fermentable and offers a clean, mild sweetness at approximately 70–80% of the sweetness of sucrose. Due to its quick energy release and functional properties, it is widely used in beverages, confectionery, bakery, dairy products, and fermentation processes.

Our food-grade D-Glucose Powder has excellent solubility, neutral taste, and consistent quality, making it suitable for both direct consumption and as a functional ingredient in processed foods.
