Explore our industrial equipment portfolio engineered for seamless continuous starch hydrolysis, high-purity dextrose crystallization, energy-efficient syrup concentration, and high-speed sugar handling.
Dextrose Anhydrous (CAS No. 50-99-7, Molecular Formula C₆H₁₂O₆) represents the highest purity crystalline form of D-glucose available for global industrial, pharmaceutical, and dietary manufacturing. Unlike its counterpart Dextrose Monohydrate (which retains a molecule of crystal water, C₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O), Dextrose Anhydrous undergoes rigorous, state-of-the-art thermal crystallization and vacuum dehydration processes. This removes all bonded moisture, establishing a moisture content strictly below 0.5%.
As China’s premier Dextrose Anhydrous manufacturer and export consortium, our factories leverage non-GMO yellow corn starch as raw substrate, employing double-enzyme enzymatic hydrolysis (alpha-amylase and glucoamylase) combined with continuous multi-stage ion-exchange chromatography. This process guarantees a chemical purity exceeding 99.5% on a dry basis, making our material ideal for water-critical pharmaceutical parenterals, intravenous fluids, dry powdered beverage mix formulations, micro-encapsulation media, and advanced bio-fermentation processes.
Information Gain Insight: Selecting Dextrose Anhydrous over Monohydrate eliminates unintended water introduction in moisture-sensitive chemical reactions, active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) tableting, and dry chocolate/confectionery coatings where moisture triggers sugar bloom or lump formation.

As global supply chains navigate shifting economic landscapes, regulatory demands, and sustainability mandates, the procurement of raw bulk sugars like Dextrose Anhydrous is undergoing a profound transformation. Industrial buyers, QA directors, and global supply directors must adjust their strategies to capture cost-efficiencies while maintaining uncompromising product safety.
The global expansion of parenteral nutrition, cell culture bio-reactors, and IV electrolyte solutions has driven an unprecedented surge in demand for Low-Endotoxin Dextrose Anhydrous (< 0.125 EU/mL). Chinese chemical refineries have invested heavily in ultra-filtration membrane technology, positioning China as the world's primary source for high-purity pharmaceutical excipient D-glucose that meets stringent FDA and EMA standards.
Modern global brands require sustainable supply partners. Leading Chinese manufacturers are adopting green enzymatic refining processes powered by biomass steam generation and solar energy arrays. This reduces the carbon footprint per ton of Dextrose Anhydrous by up to 35% compared to legacy acid-hydrolysis starch converting plants.
Volatile agricultural commodity prices (corn starch indexes) and international freight fluctuations have accelerated the move toward 12-to-24-month fixed-price supply contracts. OEM buyers are securing dedicated production capacities directly with top-tier Chinese factories to guard against market spikes and guarantee inventory continuity.
Beyond traditional food and medicine, Dextrose Anhydrous has emerged as the carbon source of choice for precision fermentation. From lab-grown proteins to bio-plastics (PLA) and synthetic enzymes, the high solubility and absent water weight of Anhydrous D-glucose streamline high-density bio-fermentation yields without diluting nutrient media formulations.
Because of its unique thermodynamic stability, rapid dissolution rate, and high caloric density, Dextrose Anhydrous serves as an essential functional raw material across diverse global sectors:
Used as an essential nutrient and tonic in IV drip infusions, blood preservation bags, oral rehydration salts (ORS), and tablet binder-diluents where moisture causes degradation of moisture-sensitive APIs.
Controls sweetness balance (approx. 70% as sweet as sucrose), prevents ice crystal growth in frozen desserts, enhances Maillard browning in baked goods, and provides quick energy in sports drinks.
Ideal for sugar-free or reduced-sucrose chocolate formulations, hard candies, and chewing gums where absolute moisture control is required to avoid stickiness and graininess.
Acts as the baseline carbon feeding substrate for antibiotic production (penicillin, streptomycin), amino acid biosynthesis (L-lysine, threonine), and organic acid synthesis (citric acid).
Get instant clarity on technical specs, factory audits, ordering protocols, and international shipping for bulk Dextrose Anhydrous orders.
Our standard factory MOQ for direct export is 1 FCL (Full Container Load), which typically holds 20 Metric Tons to 25 Metric Tons depending on packaging format (25kg bags vs 1,000kg supersacks). Palletized sample orders can be arranged for laboratory trials and quality qualification audits.
Yes. Every single shipment is dispatched with a detailed batch Certificate of Analysis (COA) issued by our accredited quality assurance laboratory. COAs detail parameters including loss on drying (LOD), specific optical rotation, heavy metals, arsenic, residual sulfur dioxide, endotoxin levels, and microbiological limits.
Dextrose Anhydrous has a certified shelf life of 24 to 36 months when stored in unopened original packaging. Because it is highly hygroscopic compared to monohydrate, it should be kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse off the floor (on pallets), away from direct sunlight, moisture, and volatile chemicals.
Absolutely. We offer tailored milling and sieving options ranging from coarse crystals (20–40 mesh) for slow-release applications, standard fine (60–80 mesh) for general food mixes, to micronized powders (100–200 mesh) for rapid dissolution and direct-compression pharmaceutical tableting.
Our pharmaceutical-grade Dextrose Anhydrous is manufactured on dedicated cGMP lines utilizing multi-stage ultra-filtration membranes, activated carbon adsorption, and continuous deionization towers. Every pharma batch undergoes LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) testing to ensure endotoxins remain strictly below 0.125 EU/mL.
We supply 25kg multi-wall kraft paper bags with inner polyethylene moisture-proof liners, 25kg fiber drums (for pharma grade), 50lb export cartons, and 1,000kg polypropylene jumbo bags (supersacks) equipped with bottom discharge spouts. Private label artwork and custom printing are supported.
We welcome third-party site audits (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas) and direct client QA teams. We provide full Drug Master File (DMF) documentation, US FDA registration info, EU CEP/EDMF dossiers, and reach compliance documentation for seamlessly clearing international regulatory review.
Standard packaging orders are dispatched from our factory to primary export ports (Qingdao, Tianjin, Ningbo, Shanghai) within 7 to 14 days following order confirmation and L/C verification. Transit times depend on destination ports (e.g., 14–18 days to US West Coast, 25–35 days to Europe or South America).
Dextrose is pure D-glucose, requiring zero enzymatic digestion in the human gastrointestinal tract. It is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, triggering an immediate glycemic response for glycogen resynthesis. Furthermore, its lower sweetness intensity allows higher caloric concentrations without creating sickly sweet taste profiles.
We offer flexible commercial arrangements: Spot Pricing (based on current corn market indexes), Fixed Quarterly or Annual Forward Contracts, and FOB/CIF/DDP incoterms options. High-volume buyers benefit from dedicated buffer stock holdings in our port-side bonded warehouses.
