With its pleasant, clean and sweet, cooling taste, dextrose has been used for years as a sweetener in a wide range of food applications. Dextrose is one of the sweetest of the starch derived sugars. On a scale on which sucrose is assigned a sweetness value of 100, dextrose is rated at 75.
Its sweetness is influenced by a variety of factors such as temperature, acidity, salts, flavoring materials, sweetener concentration and the nature of other sugars present. Contrary to sucrose, dextrose is not subject to the process known as inversion, and therefore its degree of sweetness does not change.
Dextrose and sucrose are often used together to control and balance sweetness and total solids. When dextrose and sucrose are combined, they exhibit a synergy. At a 40 percent replacement level, for example, the apparent relative sweetness of dextrose could be as high as 90.
