What is D-Glucose Monohydrate?
D-Glucose Monohydrate is a natural simple sugar (monosaccharide) derived from starch hydrolysis, containing one molecule of water of crystallization. It is a rapidly absorbed source of energy and is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, beverage, and industrial applications. As a pure carbohydrate, it is easily metabolized and serves as a key ingredient in sports drinks, confectionery, baking, and fermentation processes. Its high purity and excellent solubility make it a versatile ingredient across multiple industries.
