In the food sector, dextrose monohydrate is used as a sweetener, energy source and flavour regulator in beverages, confectionery, baked goods, desserts, sauces and dairy products. It improves yeast fermentation in baking and helps to achieve the desired colour of baked goods.
In the feed sector, crystalline glucose is used as an easily digestible source of energy for animals, supporting metabolic processes and improving the palatability of feed. The addition of dextrose to feed mixtures can support the body’s recovery after exercise and increase weight gain.
