KASEL Chemicals

Synonym: D-Glucose

dextro1-p 

Dextrose  a monosaccharide (or simple sugar), is an important carbohydrate in biology.
The living cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate.
Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It readily assimilates in blood thus providing instant energy and vigour.

General information
Dextrose Anhydrous
Dextrose anhydrous is the purest form of dextrose, commonly called glucose. It is manufactured by refining dextrose monohydrate, itself a pure form of dextrose.
