Dextrose Monohydrate 99% Powder

D-Glucose monohydrate is white or almost white, crystalline powder. Dextrose occurs as odorless, sweet-tasting, colorless crystals or as a white crystalline or granular powder. The JP XV describes dextrose as dextrose anhydrous; the PhEur 6.3 specifies dextrose as either dextrose anhydrous or dextrose monohydrate; and the USP 32 specifies dextrose as dextrose monohydrate.
D-(+)-Glucose monohydrate, commonly known as glucose or dextrose, has several microbiological applications. It is used as a carbon source in microbial culture media to promote the growth and propagation of various microorganisms. Glucose is a simple sugar and a primary energy source for bacterial cell metabolism. It is a common natural sugar involved in processes such as energy production, glycosylation, and formation of glycans that provide structure to cells. It is involved in a detrimental process in cells called glycation.
D-Glucose monohydrate is white or almost white, crystalline powder.
A monosaccharide occurring widely in nature as D-glucose. It occurs as glucose units in sucrose, starch, and cellulose. It is important to metabolism because it participates in energy-storage and energy-release systems.
