What is Organic Dextrose Powder?

Organic Dextrose Powder is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) derived from certified organic non-GMO corn or tapioca via a natural enzymatic process. It is a pure, fast-acting carbohydrate offering natural sweetness, high solubility, and rapid energy release. This product is available in two highly refined forms to meet specific application needs: Organic Dextrose Monohydrate (containing one water molecule) and Organic Dextrose Anhydrous (water-free). It is the ideal clean-label ingredient for sweetening, flavor enhancement, browning, and providing instant energy.

Key Highlights

Dual Formulations: Choose between Monohydrate for general use or Anhydrous for low-moisture applications.
Rapid Energy Source: High Glycemic Index (GI) for quick carbohydrate replenishment.
Natural Sweetness: Approximately 70-80% the sweetness of sucrose, with a clean, neutral profile.
High Purity & Solubility: ≥99.5% dextrose content with instant and complete solubility in water.
Clean-Label: Derived from organic crops, non-GMO, and minimally processed.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Functional Superiority

Fermentability: Excellent fermentable sugar for brewing and baking, promoting yeast activity and leavening.
Maillard Reaction: Enhances browning and flavor development in baked goods and processed foods.
Free-Flowing: Both grades are fine, white, free-flowing powders for easy handling and dosing.
Osmotic Properties: Contributes to preservation in jams, jellies, and fillings.

2. Health & Nutritional Benefits

Organic & Non-GMO: Meets the growing consumer demand for clean, transparently sourced ingredients.
Hypoallergenic: Naturally free from gluten, nuts, and major allergens (depending on facility).
Pure Carbohydrate: Provides a direct source of energy for athletes and active nutrition.

3. Application Versatility

Formulation Flexibility: Can be used as a primary sweetener, a partial sucrose replacer, or a functional carrier.
Texture & Bulking: Adds volume and can improve mouthfeel in various products without a overpowering sweetness.
Stability: Chemically stable with a long shelf life under recommended storage conditions.

Applications

Organic Dextrose Monohydrate is widely used in bakery mixes, icings, and cereals for its fermentability and browning properties. It serves as a sweetener in fruit preparations and dairy desserts, and is a key ingredient in energy gels, chews, and drink powders for sports nutrition due to its rapid energy release. It also acts as an effective carrier for vitamins and minerals in tablets and lozenges.

Organic Dextrose Anhydrous is essential in low-moisture baked goods and dry blends to prevent clumping and ensure stability. It is the preferred choice for powdered drink mixes and effervescent tablets where moisture absorption must be minimized. In the confectionery industry, it is used in hard candies and pressed tablets, and serves as a base for oral rehydration salts (ORS) and other pharmaceutical preparations requiring precise formulation.

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.
