Properties & Applications & PackagesInquiry

Properties:
Appearance: It is a white, crystalline powder.
Solubility: It is highly soluble in water but does not contain any water of crystallization.
Stability: It is stable under normal conditions but can decompose upon heating or exposure to moisture.
Sweetness: It is sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) on a molar basis.
Hydrophilicity: Due to its lack of water, it is less hygroscopic compared to hydrated forms of glucose.

Uses:
Food Industry: It is used as a sweetener in various food products, including confectionery, baked goods, and beverages.
Pharmaceuticals: Anhydrous glucose is used in the formulation of pharmaceutical products, such as tablets and syrups, due to its stability and solubility.
Biotechnology: It serves as a substrate for fermentation processes in the production of biofuels and other biotechnological applications.
Nutritional Supplements: It is used in sports and health supplements to provide a quick source of energy.
Chemical Synthesis: It is a starting material for the synthesis of various organic compounds and intermediates.
Cultural Media: In microbiology, anhydrous glucose is used in the preparation of culture media for the growth of microorganisms.
Dentistry: It is used in the formulation of certain dental products, such as mouthwashes and toothpastes, to prevent oral diseases.
