Dextrose Monohydrate

[1]What is Dextrose monohydrate(DMH)? DMH is a white granular monosaccharide. It is obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of starch to dextrose and subsequent purification and crystallization from solution. It is sweet in taste, free from foreign flavour and finds wide applications due to its inherent quality of being an instant energy source. [2]What does dextrose powder do? Dextrose Monohydrate also known as brewing sugar as it is ideally suited to brewing and is the perferred alternative to cane sugar. Dextrose can be subistituted in equal volume for cane sugar. Dextrose adds a smoothness to beer unlike cane sugar which contributes to a cidery tang. Glucose, a monosaccharide, is one of the most important carbohydrates. The cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. This is why you find this product in a lot of fitness, workout drinks and health/dietary supplements. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration. The natural form (D-glucose) is also referred to as dextrose, especially in the food industry.
