GLUCOSE- ▸ Food and beverage: sweetener/ingredient for confectionery, baking, canning and brewing
- ▸ Fermentation: carbon-source substrate for amino-acid and bioproduct fermentation
- ▸ Caramel color: feedstock for caramel coloring
- ▸ Formulation: humectant ingredient
A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Glucose (dextrose, D-glucose, CAS 50-99-7) is a monosaccharide produced commercially by hydrolysis of starch. It is used as a food ingredient (confectionery, baking, canning, brewing and wine-making), as a fermentation substrate for producing amino acids and other bioproducts, and as a feedstock for caramel coloring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is glucose the same as sugar?
Glucose (dextrose, D-glucose) is a single monosaccharide, while "sugar" is a general term that also covers disaccharides like sucrose (table sugar). Commercially, glucose is produced by hydrolysis of starch and supplied as a defined-spec ingredient. RawSource supplies it under CAS 50-99-7.
What is glucose used for in industrial and food applications?
It is used as a food and beverage ingredient (confectionery, baking, canning, brewing, wine-making), as a fermentation carbon source for amino acids and bioproducts, as a feedstock for caramel coloring, and as a humectant. It is supplied in bulk for manufacturing and processing. Grade is specified per application.
What is glucose made from?
Commercial glucose is produced by the hydrolysis of starch, typically corn or other starch sources. The result is the monosaccharide D-glucose (C6H12O6, CAS 50-99-7). A Certificate of Analysis accompanies each lot confirming identity and assay.
What HS code applies to glucose for import?
Glucose is commonly classified under HS 1702.30. Confirm the final tariff line with your customs broker for your destination, as classification can depend on form and dextrose content. RawSource provides commercial documentation to support clearance.
How is bulk glucose packaged and quoted?
It is supplied in bulk (for example powder or solution) with CoA and SDS, in packaging scaled to your order. Because grade, form, and volume drive cost, we quote per request rather than publish a price. Send a bulk RFQ with your target quantity for a current quote.
