Food Additives Glucose for Candy Manufacturing and Pharmaceutical Fields
Product Introduction:
Glucose (chemical formula C6H12O6), also known as corn glucose or corn sugar, is abbreviated as glucose. Chemical name: 2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanal, English alternative name: Dextrose, Cornsugar, Grapesugar, Bloodsugar. It is the most widely distributed and important monosaccharide in nature, and it is a polyhydroxyaldehyde. Pure glucose is a colorless crystal with a sweet taste but not as sweet as sucrose (which most people cannot taste). It is easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol. Natural glucose aqueous solution has a right rotation, therefore it belongs to "dextrose". Glucose plays an important role in the field of biology, serving as an energy source and metabolic intermediate for living cells, and is the primary energy source for living organisms. Plants can produce glucose through photosynthesis. It has a wide range of applications in candy manufacturing and pharmaceutical fields.

Product Usage:
The central nervous system relies almost entirely on the supply of blood sugar as energy, and once blood sugar rises to 80 mg%, diabetes may occur. In industry, glucose is produced by starch hydrolysis, and in the 1960s, microbial enzymatic methods were used to produce glucose. This is a major innovation with obvious advantages over acid hydrolysis method. In production, raw materials do not need to be refined, acid resistant or pressure resistant equipment is not required, and the sugar solution has no bitterness and a high sugar production rate. Glucose is mainly used as an injectable nutrient in medicine (glucose injection). In the food industry, glucose can be processed by isomerase to produce fructose, especially fructose syrup containing 42% fructose, which has the same sweetness as sucrose and has become an important product in the current sugar industry. Glucose is an essential nutrient for metabolism in living organisms. The heat released by its oxidation reaction is an important source of energy required for human life activities. It can be directly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as a reducing agent in the printing and dyeing leather industry, and glucose is commonly used as a reducing agent in the mirror industry and silver plating process of hot water bottles. In industry, glucose is also extensively used as a raw material to synthesize vitamin C (ascorbic acid).
