Anhydrous Glucose

Application Area

Application Description

Food Additive

Sweetener: Anhydrous glucose can be used as a sweetener in food due to its high sweetness, serving as an alternative to traditional sweeteners like sucrose.

Anti-crystallizing Agent: In the production of candies, chocolates, and other foods, anhydrous glucose can be used as an additive to prevent sugar crystallization, improving the taste and texture of the product.

Humectant: Due to its hygroscopic nature, anhydrous glucose can also be used as a humectant to extend the shelf life of certain foods.

Chemical Industry

Synthetic Raw Material: Anhydrous glucose can be used as a synthetic raw material for the preparation of certain organic compounds, such as some pharmaceuticals, solvents, and intermediates in chemical reactions.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Pharmaceutical Excipient: Anhydrous glucose can be used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations to improve the taste and solubility of drugs.

Injection: In certain injectable formulations, anhydrous glucose can serve as a carrier or solvent, aiding in drug delivery and stability.

Daily Chemical Industry

Skincare Products: The moisturizing properties of anhydrous glucose make it a common ingredient in skincare products, helping to maintain skin moisture balance.

Cosmetics: In some cosmetics, anhydrous glucose can be used as a thickening agent to increase product viscosity.
