1. Chemical Name : Edible Dextrose (Glucose) Monohydrate
2. Molecular Formula : C6H14O7
4. CAS : 5996-10-1
5. Einecs : 200-075-1
6. Character : Glucose monohydrate is a monosaccharide compound, existing as the hydrated form of glucose. Its molecular structure contains one water molecule bound to the glucose molecule via hydrogen bonding. It appears as a white crystalline powder with a sweet taste, though its sweetness is approximately 70% that of sucrose. It exhibits high solubility in water, undergoes endothermic dissolution, and yields a weakly acidic solution. Compared to anhydrous glucose (which lacks crystal water), glucose monohydrate demonstrates higher stability and does not readily lose its water of crystallization at room temperature. However, under high temperatures or in dry environments, it may gradually undergo dehydration and convert to the anhydrous form.
7. Usage : It is extensively utilized in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical sectors. With properties like moisture retention and high solubility, it serves as a vital substance for rapid energy replenishment in the human body. In the food industry and beverage sector, it serves as a sweetener, nutritional agent, and bulking agent. Within the pharmaceutical industry, it can be formulated into oral solutions or intravenous injections as a nutritional supplement. In the leather tanning industry, it functions as a reducing agent for sole leather and trunk leather.
8. Packing : It is packed with polyethylene bag as inner layer and a compound plastic woven bag as outer layer. The net weight of each bag is 25kg.
9. Storage and Transport : It should be stored in a dry and ventilating warehouse, be cautious to keep away from moisture and hot, unloaded with care so as to avoid the damage. Furthermore, it should be stored separately from poisonous substances.
