What it is

Dextrose is a simple sugar, a form of glucose. It is typically derived from corn or other starches through a process called hydrolysis. The resulting sugar is then purified and crystallized.

Dextrose is used as a sweetener and a bulking agent in many food products. It provides a clean, sweet taste and can help improve texture and shelf life. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, processed meats, and beverages.

Health notes

In the US, dextrose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides energy to the body. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dextrose and established acceptable daily intake levels. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to calorie intake and potential health concerns.
