Crystalline Grape Dextrose Monohydrate. This is an authentic fraction of the monosaccharide glucose present in grape juice. It occurs in the form of white crystals with a purity of > 99%.
Sweetness
Low sweetening power (POD = approx. 70% compared to sucrose)
Colour
Maillard reaction – caramelisation (160°C)
Solubility
Low solubility (lower than sucrose) at T < 55°C High solubility (higher than sucrose) at T > 55°C
Antifreeze power
Lowers the freezing point
PAC = 1.9
Glycemic index (GI)
Glucose GI = 100
Main functions
Serves to control and balance the level of sweetness
Improves structure and has an anti-crystallising effect
Immediate source of energy restoring the body's energy reserves under stress
It is a reducing sugar and helps to inhibit oxidative degradation, thus stabilising easily oxidisable substances and colour
