Anhydrous dextrose has the chemical formula C 6 H 12 O 6, without any water molecule attached which is the same as glucose. [38] Anhydrous dextrose on open air tends to absorb moisture and transform to the monohydrate, and it is more expensive to produce. [40]
Corn syrup – sweet syrup produced from corn starch that may contain glucose, maltose and other sugars. Date sugar [1] Dehydrated cane juice [1] Demerara sugar [1] Dextrin [1] – an incompletely hydrolyzed starch made from a variety of grains or other starchy foods. Dextrose [1] – same as glucose, dextrose is an alternative name of glucose
Glucose (dextrose) has a molecular mass of 180, while water has a molecular mass of 18. For each 2 glucose monomers binding, a water molecule is removed. Therefore, the molecular mass of a glucose polymer can be calculated by using the formula (180*n - 18*(n-1)) with n the DP (degree of polymerisation) of the glucose polymer.
This is also called dextrose, or grape sugar because drying grape juice produces crystals of dextrose that can be sieved from the other components. [75] Glucose syrup is a liquid form of glucose that is widely used in the manufacture of foodstuffs. It can be manufactured from starch by enzymatic hydrolysis. [76]
For many monosaccharides (including glucose), the cyclic forms predominate, in the solid state and in solutions, and therefore the same name commonly is used for the open- and closed-chain isomers. Thus, for example, the term "glucose" may signify glucofuranose, glucopyranose, the open-chain form, or a mixture of the three.
Optical activity is reciprocal, i.e. it is the same for opposite directions of wave propagation through an optically active medium, for example, clockwise polarization rotation from the point of view of an observer. In case of optically active isotropic media, the rotation is the same for any direction of wave propagation.

Atom balance is maintained by the two phosphate (P i) groups: Each exists in the form of a hydrogen phosphate anion, dissociating to contribute ...
l-Glucose is an organic compound with formula C 6 H 12 O 6 or O=CH[CH(OH)] 5 H, specifically one of the aldohexose monosaccharides. As the l-isomer of glucose, it is the enantiomer of the more common d-glucose. l-Glucose does not occur naturally in living organisms, but can be synthesized in the laboratory.
