Description
Industrial glucose, industrial glucose (bacteria industrial glucose), also known as whole sugar powder. White lumpy solid with sweet taste. Solid content ≥ 80%, DE value ≥ 95, the product is widely used in sewage treatment, medicine, chemical industry, food, microbial fermentation and other industries. The market price of glucose is 3500 yuan / ton, and Glucose (chemical formula C6H12O6) is the most widely distributed in nature. And the most important monosaccharide, it is a polyhydroxy aldehyde.
Pure glucose is colorless crystal, sweet but not as sweet as sucrose (normal people cannot taste the sweetness), easily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, insoluble in ether. Natural glucose aqueous solution is optically rotated to the right, so it belongs to "dextrose". Glucose plays an important role in the field of biology. It is the energy source and metabolic intermediate product of living cells, that is, the main energy-supplying material for organisms.
Plants can produce glucose through photosynthesis. It is widely used in confectionery manufacturing and pharmaceutical fields. As the basic element of human body and basic pharmaceutical raw material, industrial glucose has a wide range of functions and uses. Especially with the improvement of people's living standards, glucose is used in the food industry as a substitute for sucrose, which opens up a wider field for the application of glucose.
(1) Fermentation industry
In the fermentation industry, glucose is used as the basic nutrient base and is the main material of the fermentation medium, such as antibiotics, monosodium glutamate, vitamins, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes, etc., which require a large amount of glucose, and can also be used as microbial polysaccharides and Raw materials for organic solvents.
(2) Food industry
With the improvement of living standards and the continuous development of science and technology in the food industry, the application of glucose in the food industry has become more and more extensive.
1. Traditional candy industry: Glucose has been changed from being an additive to a main raw material, which not only improves the taste of candy, but also meets the requirements of nutrition and health care.
2. The developing pastry and cold drinks industry: Glucose, as a brand-new food additive, is used in the production of various pastries and cold drinks to improve the flavor, taste and color of products, especially to improve product quality. Industry insiders highly praised. Specific applications are as follows: various wine additives, flavor and color of baked goods, soft drinks, cakes, puddings, various cans, dairy additives, coffee, cocoa, cold drinks, ice cream, meat products, enemas , fish food, all kinds of pasta, convenience food, chewing gum and other foods.
3. Emerging vegetable processing industry: With the increasing market demand and the continuous advancement of vegetable processing technology, glucose, as a nutrient and preservative, is in the processing position of fresh-keeping and dehydrated vegetables.
(3) Chemical industry
Industrial glucose is widely used in industry, such as adhesives, casting products, plastic products, printing and dyeing, tanning, electroplating, drilling, paint, soap, pesticides, matches, explosives, etc.
(4) Synthesis and transformation
Industrial glucose can also be synthesized or converted into other products by hydrogenation, oxidation, isomerization, alkaline degradation, esterification, acetalization, etc. Such as hydrogenation to produce sorbitol; oxidation to produce glucuronic acid, diacid, etc., and can be further made into calcium acid, sodium, zinc acid and gluconic acid & lactone; isomerization to F42, F55, F90 fructose syrup and crystals Fructose; can also be isomerized into mannose (the raw material for the production of mannitol), in which sorbitol can improve the production of vitamin C, which is widely used in clinical treatment, and 15% of mannitol is clinically used as a kind of drug for reducing intracranial pressure, to treat cerebral edema and glaucoma.
nCH2OH(CHOH)4CHOGlucose chemical properties: It is the most widely distributed monosaccharide in nature. Glucose contains five hydroxyl groups and one aldehyde group, and has the properties of polyols and aldehydes. It is easily decomposed when heated under alkaline conditions. It should be kept tightly closed. It is rapidly absorbed after oraladministration, and is utilized by tissues after entering the human body. 1mol of glucose is completely oxidized by the human body to release 2870KJ of energy. Some of this energy is converted into 30 or 32mol of ATP, and the rest of the energy is dissipated in the form of heat energy to maintain body temperature. It can also be converted into glycogen or fat storage through the liver or muscle.
