Dextrose Monohydrate

Dextrose Monohydrate is the hydrated crystalline form of D-glucose, carrying one molecule of water of crystallisation per glucose unit.

It is the most widely produced and traded form of dextrose. The white, free-flowing crystal contains approximately 9 percent water, gives a clean cooling taste on the tongue, and dissolves rapidly into clear neutral solutions.

This is the standard form for food, beverage, fermentation, and general pharmaceutical use, where the small amount of hydration water is acceptable.

We source bulk Dextrose Monohydrate from top China manufacturers for our partners, working with several of them. The manufacturers are mostly in Shandong, Heilongjiang and Henan. For this ingredient the minimum order is 10,000 kg and a 20-foot container takes 20 MT, and a smaller requirement can ship in a combined container with other ingredients.

Please send the grade you need, the volume and your destination port, and we will come back with a solution and a price.

Common Markets Grades

Dextrose Monohydrate is graded by particle size, purity, and intended channel.

Standard food grade dominates the global trade and comes as crystalline powder or fine sugar-like particles.

Pharmacopoeia grade meets USP, Ph. Eur., and JP monographs for dextrose monohydrate and is used in oral solid dose and oral liquid pharmaceutical preparations.

Fermentation grade may carry slightly looser colour and ash specifications but tighter limits on inhibitory ions, and ships as tanker liquid or bulk crystal.

Agglomerated free-flow grade is preferred for dry-blend operations where dust suppression and uniform mixing matter.

Applications

Sweetener and body in soft drinks, fruit juices, and sports drinks
Fermentation substrate for citric acid, lactic acid, lysine, and antibiotics
Yeast nutrition in baking and brewing
Confectionery body, browning, and cooling-flavour accent in tablets and lozenges
Bakery dough conditioner and Maillard browning accelerator
Cured-meat reducing sugar for colour and flavour development
Frozen dessert and ice cream sweetener and freezing-point modifier
Tablet binder and granulation aid in oral pharmaceuticals
Carbohydrate base in oral rehydration salts
Bulk sweetener in flavoured yogurts, dairy desserts, and infant cereals
Energy source in animal feed premixes

Brands Using Dextrose Monohydrate

How We Help Source Dextrose Monohydrate

Direct Factory Sourcing
We run the whole process: selecting the manufacturer from the top Chinese food ingredient producers, negotiating the price, verifying quality, and coordinating the logistics. You deal with us instead of with several factories at once.
Original Packaging and Documents from the Manufacturer
The manufacturer sends your Dextrose Monohydrate out of its own factory in the original packing, through to your destination port. The COA, COO, MSDS, TDS and any certifications reach you from the manufacturer as well.
Free Samples and Lead Time
We send 100 to 500 g free for your own laboratory to test and you cover only the courier, usually within 2 to 3 working days. ETD is usually within 7 to 15 days once the order is confirmed, and we check that date against the factory's own manufacturing schedule before we give it to you.
Combined Shipment
We can load Dextrose Monohydrate together with other ingredients such as Fructooligosaccharides, Dextrose and L-Arabinose into one 20' FCL. If your quantity is small, we can also ship LCL.

Regulatory Status

Dextrose Monohydrate appears as a monograph in the USP-NF, the European Pharmacopoeia, the Japanese Pharmacopoeia, and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

The U.S. FDA covers it under GRAS for food use in 21 CFR 184.1857.

Codex Alimentarius lists it as a general carbohydrate sweetener with no specified intake limit. JECFA has not set an ADI on safety grounds.

Kosher, Halal, non-GMO, and organic certifications are routinely available depending on the source starch and supplier.

Manufacturing Process

Dextrose Monohydrate Manufacturing Process

Loading process diagram…

Dextrose Monohydrate is crystallised from a high-DE glucose syrup at temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius.

Starch is liquefied and saccharified to near-complete conversion (95 to 96 DE). The syrup is refined through carbon and ion exchange, concentrated, then transferred to crystallisers.

The syrup is supersaturated, seeded with monohydrate crystal, and cooled progressively over many hours to build large, well-formed crystals.

The crystal slurry is centrifuged and washed with cold water. Mother liquor is recovered, reworked, and partially recycled.

The wet crystal is dried in a rotary or fluid-bed dryer to a target moisture of around 8.5 to 9.5 percent, sieved, and packed.
