Aspartame
Aspartame is a low-calorie artificial sweetener approximately 200 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar). It is a methyl ester of the dipeptide composed of aspartic acid and phenylalanine. Due to its intense sweetness and low-calorie nature, aspartame is widely used as a sugar substitute in various food and beverage products. It is popular among consumers seeking to reduce caloric intake, especially diabetics and those on weight management programs. Aspartame breaks down at high temperatures, limiting its use in certain cooking or baking applications. It is approved by numerous global food safety authorities, including the FDA and EFSA.
Dextrose Anhydrous BP Injectable
Dextrose Anhydrous BP Injectable is a sterile, highly purified crystalline form of glucose that serves as a critical energy source in intravenous therapy. It is widely used in parenteral nutrition, rehydration, and hypoglycemia management. The anhydrous form contains no water, allowing precise control of concentration in injectable solutions. Meeting British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards, it ensures pharmaceutical-grade purity and sterility, suitable for direct injection or as a component in compounded IV fluids. It provides readily available carbohydrates metabolized to supply energy, regulate osmolarity, and maintain fluid-electrolyte balance in clinical care.
Dextrose Monohydrate
Dextrose Monohydrate is a crystalline form of glucose containing one molecule of water (monohydrate). It is a primary carbohydrate source widely used in pharmaceutical, food, and clinical nutrition applications. It provides readily available energy, serves as a sweetening agent, and acts as an osmotic agent in formulations. Dextrose Monohydrate meets pharmacopoeial standards (such as BP, USP) ensuring high purity, consistency, and safety for use in medical and food-grade products. Its solubility and stable crystalline form make it suitable for intravenous fluids, oral rehydration solutions, and food industry applications.
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate
Dipotassium Hydrogen Phosphate (also known as dipotassium phosphate, DKP) is an inorganic salt used widely as a buffering agent, emulsifier, and nutritional supplement in various industries. It is a white, crystalline, highly water-soluble powder with alkaline properties. DKP plays a vital role in food processing, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and agriculture due to its ability to stabilize pH, improve texture, and supply essential potassium and phosphate ions.
Fructose
Fructose, also known as fruit sugar, is a naturally occurring monosaccharide found in many plants, fruits, honey, and root vegetables. It is a simple sugar with a sweet taste and is one of the three dietary monosaccharides, alongside glucose and galactose. Fructose appears as a white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and is commonly used as a sweetener in food and beverage industries due to its high relative sweetness. It plays important roles in metabolism and is used extensively in the production of high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and other sweetening agents.
Icing Sugar
Icing Sugar, also known as powdered sugar or confectioners’ sugar, is a finely ground sugar with a powdery consistency. It is typically made by milling granulated sugar into a fine powder and blending it with a small amount of anti-caking agent (usually cornstarch or tricalcium phosphate) to prevent clumping. Icing Sugar is white, odorless, and has a sweet taste. It is widely used in baking, confectionery, and culinary applications to provide sweetness, texture, and decorative finishes.
Icing Sugar Super refined
Icing Sugar Super refined, also known as powdered sugar or confectioners' sugar, is a finely ground white sugar produced by milling granulated sugar into a smooth, powdery form. This grade of icing sugar has an ultra-fine texture with a particle size typically less than 50 microns, ensuring quick solubility and a smooth finish. It often contains a small percentage of anti-caking agent such as cornstarch or tricalcium phosphate to prevent clumping. Super refined icing sugar is widely used in baking, confectionery, and food processing industries for its fast-dissolving and smooth blending characteristics.
Xylitol
Xylitol is a naturally occurring sugar alcohol used as a low-calorie sweetener. It is derived primarily from plant materials such as birch wood and corn cobs. Xylitol has sweetness comparable to sucrose but with fewer calories, making it popular in sugar-free and diabetic-friendly food products. It also exhibits dental health benefits by reducing the risk of cavities.
