LIQUID GLUCOSE Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties
Clear, colourless or brown, viscous liquid.
Chemical Properties
Liquid glucose is an aqueous solution of several compounds,
principally dextrose, dextrin, fructose, and maltose, with other
oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. It is a colorless, odorless, and
viscous sweet-tasting liquid, ranging in color from colorless to
straw-colored.
Liquid glucose is classified into four categories according to its
degree of hydrolysis, expressed as dextrose equivalent (DE):
Type I: 20–38 DE;
Type II: 38–58 DE;
Type III: 58–73 DE;
Type IV: >73 DE.
Production Methods
Liquid glucose is prepared by the incomplete acidic or enzymatic hydrolysis of starch.
Pharmaceutical Applications
Liquid glucose is used as a base in oral solutions and syrups and also as a granulating and coating agent in tablet manufacture. In sugar solutions for tablet coating, liquid glucose is used to retard the crystallization of the sucrose. Liquid glucose is also used in confectionery products.
Safety
Liquid glucose is used in oral pharmaceutical formulations and
confectionery products and is generally regarded as a nontoxic and
nonirritant material. It may be consumed by diabetics.
LD50 (mouse, IV): 9 g/kg
storage
Liquid glucose should be stored in a well-closed container in a cool, dry place. Elevated temperatures will cause discoloration.
Incompatibilities
Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
Regulatory Status
GRAS listed. Included in the FDA Inactive Ingredients Database (oral solutions, syrups, and tablets; topical emulsions and gels). Included in nonparenteral medicines licensed in the UK. Included in the Canadian List of Acceptable Non-medicinal Ingredients.
