Description

Alpha-D-Glucopyranose Monohydrate is the monohydrate form of the alpha isoform of D-glucopyranose, a synthetic simple monosaccharide that is used as an energy source. D- glucopyranose is oxidized in various tissues under either aerobic or anaerobic conditions through glycolysis; the oxidation reaction produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP.

α-D-Glucose monohydrate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Production methods: Glucose is the largest in the nature of the compoundsFirst, is the product of photosynthesis. It exists free form in the pulp of plants, especially in fruit; honey; plasma; Normal glucose content in the blood of 0.08% -0.1%, while a greater number of forms are combined with the composition of sucrose; starch; glycogen; cellulose and glycosides and so on. Glucose was originally isolated from the grape juice obtained, and hence the name. Industrial production of glucose by hydrolysis of starch obtained in the past with dilute hydrochloric acid hydrolysis of starch, now almost entirely by enzyme hydrolysis instead of dilute hydrochloric acid.

Uses

Uses: The sweetness of glucose is about three-quarters of that of sucrose. It is mainly used in food industry such as candy; bread; wine making, etc. Glucose used for patient infusion also accounts for a large proportion. Glucose can be reduced to glucose alcohol (that is, sorbitol) for the synthesis of vitamin C and oxidation to the calcium salt of gluconic acid, which provides calcium ions in medicine; gluconic acid is further oxidized to generate arabinoic acid for the synthesis of vitamin B2. Glucose has a very strong reducing ability in caustic soda solution and is used as a reducing agent in dyeing and printing with vat dyes.
