Product: Glucose (D-Glucose, C₆H₁₂O₆)

CAS No.: 50-99-7 (Anhydrous) / 5996-10-1 (Monohydrate)
Hazard Class: Non-hazardous
UN No.: Non-regulated
Appearance: White crystalline powder

Description: Glucose is produced through enzymatic hydrolysis of starch (corn/wheat) or sucrose inversion, serving as a primary energy source in food (DE≥99.5%), pharmaceuticals (isotonic solution 5%), and fermentation industries. The monohydrate form (contains 9% water) is stable at room temperature, while anhydrous glucose (food grade E17) exhibits higher sweetness (74% of sucrose) and solubility (91g/100mL at 25°C). Applications span from confectionery (prevents crystallization) to sports drinks (rapid carbohydrate replenishment) and IV fluids (osmolarity 278mOsm/L at 5%).
