Products Description of D-Glucose Monohydrate CAS#5996-10-1
D-Glucose Monohydrate is a white or almost white crystalline powder with a fine, free-flowing texture and a mild, clean taste. Each molecule contains one molecule of crystal water, with a chemical formula of C₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O and a molecular weight of approximately 198.17.
It dissolves readily in water, and its solubility increases noticeably with rising temperature, while it is sparingly soluble in ethanol and practically insoluble in ether. The aqueous solution is nearly neutral, showing a pH of around 5.0–7.0. Its specific optical rotation ranges from +52.2° to +53.0°, and the melting point of the monohydrate form is approximately 83°C. Loss on drying is usually between 8.0% and 10.0%. The product shows moderate hygroscopicity and good storage stability when kept sealed in a dry, cool environment.

Product Application of D-Glucose Monohydrate CAS#5996-10-1
D-Glucose Monohydrate works well as a sweetener and gains extensive usage within the food, drink and confectionery manufacturing sectors. For pharmaceutical production, it acts as essential feedstock for glucose infusion liquid and sodium-glucose injection preparations. It can also serve as functional constituents or processing aids for orally-taken medicines.
Apart from the above-mentioned fields, the monohydrate-form glucose is adopted for fresh-vegetable preservation treatment, assisting fresh farm produce to stay stable throughout storage periods.
