What is Glucose?

Glucose is a naturally occurring chemical compound. This glucose powder is also called D-glucose. D-glucose is also called grape sugar, or dextrose. D-glucose is a monosaccharide (simple sugar), a subcategory of carbohydrates. It is an important source of energy. Glucose is made by plants and most algae through photosynthesis (conversion of light into carbohydrates).

Dextrose Equivalent (DE)

The DE number of the glucose says something about the binding and sweetening power of the glucose and depends on the degree of hydrolysis applied. Starch is converted into Glucose by hydrolysis. On a scale of 0 - 100, 0 is pure starch and 100 is pure glucose. The lower the number, the higher the binding power of the product. The higher the number, the higher the sweetening power.
