What is Organic Dextrose Monohydrate?
Organic Dextrose Monohydrate is a premium-grade sweetener, known for its pure, crystalline form and inherent stability. It is a monosaccharide derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of organic corn starch, ensuring a product that is both natural and versatile.
Production Process The creation of Organic Dextrose Monohydrate involves several critical steps:
- Enzymatic Hydrolysis: Organic starch is broken down using natural enzymes, which simplifies the starch into smaller sugar units.
- Purification: The resulting dextrose solution is then purified, removing any impurities to achieve a high level of purity and solubility.
- Crystallization: Through careful temperature and pressure control, dextrose crystals are formed.
- Drying: The crystals are then dried to remove moisture, resulting in the monohydrate form, which contains one molecule of water for stability.
Chemical Structure Organic Dextrose Monohydrate has a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 99%, indicating nearly complete conversion to dextrose. It is a simple sugar, chemically identical to glucose, which is a fundamental energy source for living organisms.
