Dextrose Anhydrous is produced by re-dissolving Dextrose Monohydrate, refining, evaporation

and re-crystallization by seed crystals at elevated temperature.

It is separated by centrifugation, washing and drying. M/S.UNIQUE SUGARS LTD.,
manufactures Dextrose Anhydrous-IP in two grades i.e. Oral grade and IV grade.

Application :
Pharmaceutical:
Dextrose Anhydrous is formulated with vitamins and Minerals and sold in packets
or containers or used during convalescent periods of physical stress by patients,
athletes and students. In medical formulations Dextrose is used in tableting (salt
tablets) and as a raw material in the fermentation industry for bio-chemical
synthesis of antibiotics (penicillin, streptomycin etc.) and vitamin C. via Sorbitol.
Fermentation industry:
Dextrose serves as a raw material in the manufacture of citric acid, amino acids,
enzymes, lactic acid and ethanol.
Chemical processes:
Sorbitol and mannitol methyglucoside, gluconic acid, gluconates also are
produced from various chemical reactions with Dextrose Monohydrate.
Dextrose Intravenous Injections:
Dextrose Injection is a sterile solution of Dextrose in water for Injection.
Thus Dextrose is a widely used product and it's uses have increased over 100 fold.
Best quality of Dextrose is produced by improved process equipment's, refining
techniques at rigid control of processing conditions at the most modern plant at
Dondaicha, Dist Dhulia (M.S.).
