Liquid Glucose
$ 1.15
Liquid Glucose is a viscous, clear to pale amber syrup primarily composed of glucose and other saccharides. It is produced by the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch derived from corn, wheat, or potatoes. Known for its high sweetness and excellent moisture-retention properties, Liquid Glucose is widely used in the food and beverage industry to enhance texture, sweetness, and shelf life. It also acts as a humectant and crystallization inhibitor, improving the quality and consistency of various processed foods.

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.
Maltitol Powder
Maltitol Powder is a white, crystalline polyol (sugar alcohol) derived from hydrogenated maltose obtained from starch sources like corn or wheat. It is a low-calorie, high-sweetness sugar substitute with about 90% the sweetness of sucrose but significantly fewer calories (approximately 2.1 kcal/g vs. 4 kcal/g for sugar). It has excellent solubility, low hygroscopicity, and provides a clean, sweet taste without an aftertaste. Maltitol Powder is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical applications for its sugar-like properties, making it suitable for diabetic, low-carb, and dental-friendly formulations.
Prunes
Prunes are dried plums that serve as a natural source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. They are widely used in food products and snacks to provide natural sweetness, improve digestive health, and enhance nutritional value. Supplied in bulk 5 kg packaging, prunes are ideal for commercial and industrial food applications.
Sodium Cyclamate
Sodium Cyclamate 80 Mesh is a white, crystalline powder used as an artificial sweetener. It is approximately 30 to 50 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar) and provides a low-calorie sugar substitute. Due to its high sweetness and stability under heat and acidic conditions, it is commonly used in food and beverage formulations, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products as a sugar alternative.
Sorbitol
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄O₆, appearing as a white, crystalline, hygroscopic powder or syrup. It is widely used as a sweetener, humectant, and texturizing agent in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. This 25kg packaged product offers high purity sorbitol, soluble in water with a mildly sweet taste and low caloric value, making it a popular sugar substitute and stabilizer.
Stevia
Stevia 25kg refers to a bulk packaging format of high-purity stevia extract, a natural, zero-calorie sweetener derived from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. It contains steviol glycosides—primarily Rebaudioside A and Stevioside—which are responsible for its intense sweetness. Stevia is widely used as a sugar substitute in food and beverage formulations, offering a healthier alternative for calorie-conscious and diabetic consumers. This product is typically available in powder or granular form, suitable for large-scale commercial use.
Sugar Slurry
Sugar Slurry is a concentrated aqueous solution of sucrose, prepared by dissolving refined sugar in water to create a viscous, pumpable syrup. It is used extensively in food, beverage, and industrial applications where liquid sweeteners are preferred over granulated sugar for ease of mixing, consistency, and handling. Sugar slurry ensures uniform sweetness and rapid dissolution in various processes and formulations.
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.
