Dextrose Anhydrous Supplier, Exporter & Global Wholesaler
PAU Chemicals is an India-based global supplier and exporter of Dextrose Anhydrous in pharmacopoeial and food grades, for infusion, confectionery, bakery and nutrition manufacturers worldwide.
Dextrose Anhydrous is purified glucose with no water of crystallisation, giving roughly 99.5% sugar solids against the monohydrate's 91%. That difference matters wherever moisture is the enemy — dry blends, tabletting, and long-life powders.
PAU Chemicals supplies BP, USP and IP grade for pharmaceutical and infusion use, and food grade for confectionery, bakery and beverage manufacture, each with its own batch documentation.
Do not substitute anhydrous for monohydrate weight for weight. Monohydrate carries around 9% water, so you need roughly 9–10% more of it to deliver the same glucose solids.Technical Specifications

What is Dextrose Anhydrous, and what is it called locally?
It is purified glucose without water of crystallisation, also called anhydrous glucose or simply dextrose. In Indian markets glucose powder generally refers to the monohydrate.
What is it used for?
Intravenous and oral rehydration solutions, pharmaceutical tabletting, confectionery, bakery, sports nutrition and instant drink powders.
What is the difference between anhydrous and monohydrate?
Anhydrous contains virtually no water and gives around 99.5% solids; monohydrate carries roughly 9% water. Anhydrous suits dry blends, tabletting and low-moisture products.
Can I swap one for the other?
Not weight for weight. Around 9–10% more monohydrate is needed to deliver the same glucose solids, and monohydrate's moisture can destabilise dry blends.
Do you supply pharmacopoeial grade?
Yes. BP, USP and IP grades are supplied for infusion and pharmaceutical use, separately documented from food grade.
How should it be stored, and what is the shelf life?
In sealed, lined bags in a cool, dry place. It is hygroscopic and cakes in humid storage; caking does not affect assay but makes handling difficult.
What packing sizes and minimum order quantity do you offer?
25 kg lined bags and 1,000 kg jumbo bags. Export MOQ is 1 FCL.
Which ports and Incoterms do you ship on, and how long does delivery take?
Hazira and Nhava Sheva on EXW, FOB, C&F and CIF terms, typically 3 to 4 weeks, shipping as general cargo.
