What is Organic Dextrose Powder?
Organic Dextrose Powder is meticulously produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of organic starch (typically corn or tapioca), followed by crystallization and purification. This process yields pure D-glucose, a monosaccharide naturally found in fruits and honey, ensuring a clean and effective ingredient for your formulations. Dextrose is highly valued for its immediate energy release, excellent solubility, and mild, clean sweetness profile. We offer this essential ingredient in two specialized forms: Organic Dextrose Monohydrate, containing one molecule of water, and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous, which is virtually water-free, allowing for precise moisture control in your products.
Discover the exceptional versatility of Organic Dextrose Powder, a naturally derived and highly functional sweetener essential for manufacturers seeking clean-label alternatives. As a simple sugar (glucose), it offers rapid energy, excellent solubility, and a mild sweetness, making it invaluable across the food, beverage, and nutraceutical industries. We provide Organic Dextrose Powder in two distinct forms – Organic Dextrose Monohydrate and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous – to cater to diverse formulation needs, ensuring optimal performance and purity for your products.

FAQs
Q: What is the primary difference between Organic Dextrose Monohydrate and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous?
A: Organic Dextrose Monohydrate contains about 8-9% water of crystallization, making it slightly less sweet by weight but more common for general use. Organic Dextrose Anhydrous contains less than 0.5% water, offering higher purity and making it ideal for moisture-sensitive applications where precise water activity control is crucial.
Q: How does the sweetness of Dextrose compare to sucrose (table sugar)?
A: Dextrose typically has about 70-75% of the sweetness of sucrose. Its sweetness is perceived rapidly in the mouth but also fades quickly.
Q: Is Organic Dextrose considered gluten-free?
A: Yes, Organic Dextrose, regardless of whether it’s derived from organic corn or organic tapioca, is purified to be gluten-free, making it suitable for gluten-free product formulations.
Q: What is the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Dextrose Powder (both forms) typically has a shelf life of 24 months from the manufacturing date when stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture, in its original sealed packaging. Specific bulk storage recommendations will be provided with your order documentation.
Q: Can Organic Dextrose be used in “sugar-free” products?
A: No, Dextrose is a simple sugar (glucose). While it has a lower sweetness intensity than sucrose, it is still a caloric sugar and would not be suitable for “sugar-free” claims. It is often used in “reduced sugar” or “no added sugar” formulations depending on the overall sugar content.
