Dextrose powder is a simple sugar, chemically identical to glucose and known commercially as corn sugar or anhydrous D-glucose. As a sweetener, it contributes mild sweetness, supports fermentation, and helps control texture, browning, and moisture in baked goods, confectionery, and beverages.

It appears as a fine, free-flowing white crystalline powder that is odourless and soluble in water, so it disperses readily in liquid systems. For handling and storage, keep it dry and sealed, since the powder is hygroscopic and can cake when exposed to moisture. Its anhydrous form means no water of crystallisation is present.

Also known as Corn Sugar, Anhydrous D-glucose, Glucose Powder
