It is frequently used to increase the dietary fiber content of food, to replace sugar, and to reduce calories and fat content. It is a multi-purpose food ingredient synthesized from dextrose (glucose), plus about 10 percent sorbitol and 1 percent citric acid. Its E number is E1200. The FDA approved it in 1981. It is one-tenth as sweet as sugar. [2]
The percentage is a mass concentration, so a 5% glucose/dextrose solution contains 50 g/L of glucose/dextrose (5 g per 100 ml). This usage is imprecise but widely used, as discussed at Mass concentration (chemistry) § Usage in biology. Glucose provides energy 4 kcal/gram, so a 5% glucose solution provides 0.2 kcal/ml.
Dextrose monohydrate is the hydrated form of D-glucose, meaning that it is a glucose molecule with an additional water molecule attached. [39] Its chemical formula is C 6 H 12 O 6 · H 2 O. [39] [40] Dextrose monohydrate is also called hydrated D-glucose, and commonly manufactured from plant starches.
A template (that is US-centric) for recording the nutritional value of foods. SI units must be inserted manually with a {{nbsp}} between the unit and the value. (g = grams, μg = micrograms, IU = international units). Percentage daily value (%DV) are roughly. estimated using US recommendations for adults from the USDA.

Lipid emulsion or fat emulsion refers to an emulsion of fat for human intravenous use, to administer nutrients to critically-ill patients that cannot consume food. It is often referred to by the brand name of the most commonly used version, Intralipid , which is an emulsion containing soybean oil , egg phospholipids and glycerin , and is ...
The standard method of determining the dextrose equivalent is the Lane-Eynon titration, based on the reduction of copper(II) sulfate in an alkaline tartrate solution, [1] an application of Fehling's test. Examples: A maltodextrin with a DE of 10 would have 10% of the reducing power of dextrose which has a DE of 100.
As typically measured, one kcal/mol represents a temperature increase of one degree Celsius in one liter of water (with a mass of 1 kg) resulting from the reaction of one mole of reagents. In SI units , one kilocalorie per mole is equal to 4.184 kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol), which comes to approximately 6.9477 × 10 −21 joules per molecule ...
[citation needed] Vitamins can be added in two doses, one fat-soluble, the other water-soluble. There are also single-dose preparations with both fat- and water-soluble vitamins such as Cernevit. [44] [45] Minerals and trace elements for parenteral nutrition are available in prepared mixtures, such as Addaven. [46]
