Dextrose Monohydrate Supplier, Exporter & Global Wholesaler
Searching for a dependable Dextrose Monohydrate supplier or exporter? You are exactly where you need to be.
PAU Chemicals is an India-based global supplier and exporter of Dextrose Monohydrate in food, pharmaceutical and fermentation grades, for beverage, confectionery and biotech manufacturers worldwide.
Dextrose Monohydrate is the standard commercial form of glucose, carrying one molecule of water of crystallisation. It is the more economical of the two forms per kilogram and dissolves readily, which makes it the default choice in liquid processing and fermentation.
PAU Chemicals supplies food, pharmaceutical and fermentation grades in fine and granular mesh, with batch-wise assay, moisture and heavy-metal documentation.
Fermentation buyers should look past assay to the trace metal and nitrogen profile — those are what actually determine yield in an antibiotic or enzyme process, and they vary more between suppliers than sugar content does.

What is Dextrose Monohydrate, and what is it called locally?
It is glucose crystallised with one molecule of water, and in most local markets glucose powder means exactly this product.
What is it used for?
Beverages, confectionery, bakery, ice cream, brewing, sports drinks, pharmaceutical syrups and as a fermentation feedstock for antibiotics and enzymes.
Should I buy monohydrate or anhydrous?
Monohydrate is more economical and suits liquid processing and fermentation. Anhydrous suits dry blends, tabletting and low-moisture powders where the water would cause problems.
What matters most for fermentation use?
Trace metals and nitrogen profile more than assay. Two products with identical sugar content can give different yields, so evaluate against your own process before switching supplier.
Do you supply pharmaceutical grade?
Yes, to BP, USP and IP, documented separately from food and fermentation grades.
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 conditions; caking does not affect assay but slows handling.
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.
