Home Dictionary Name: dextroseDextrose
A sirupy or white crystalline variety of sugar C6H12O6 so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right occurring in many ripe fruits and also called glucose Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose and hence the mixture is called called invert sugar Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch and hence called also starch sugar It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice...
Carbohydrate
One of a group of compounds including the sugars starches and gums which contain six or some multiple of six carbon atoms united with a variable number of hydrogen and oxygen atoms but with the two latter always in proportion as to form water as dextrose C6H12O6...

Galactose
A white crystalline sugar C6H12O6 isomeric with dextrose obtained by the decomposition of milk sugar and also from certain gums When oxidized it forms mucic acid Called also lactose though it is not lactose proper...
inositol
A white crystalline substance C6H12O6 with a sweet taste widely distributed in certain animal tissues and fluids particularly in the muscles of the heart and lungs and also in some plants as in unripe pease beans potato sprouts etc Although isomeric with dextrose it has no carbonyl aldehyde or ketone group and is therefore not a carbohydrate but a derivative of cyclohexane Called also inosite cyclohexitol cyclohexanehexol hexahydroxycyclohexane and phaseomannite There are nine possible steroisomers not all of which are found naturally The predominate natural form is cis 1235 trans 46 cyclohexanehexol also called myo inositol The naturally occurring phytic acid in plants is the hexaphosphate of inositol from which inositol may be manufactured phytin is the calcium magnesium salt of phytic acid It is also a component of phosphatidylinositol...
Levulose
A sirupy variety of sugar rarely obtained crystallized occurring widely in honey ripe fruits etc and hence called also fruit sugar also called fructose Chemical formula C6H12O6 It is called levulose because it rotates the plane of polarization of light to the left in contrast to dextrose the other product of the hydrolysis of sucrose...
Maltose
A crystalline disaccharide C12H22O11 formed from starch by the action of diastase of malt and the amylolytic ferment of saliva and pancreatic juice called also maltobiose and malt sugar Chemically it is 4 O alpha D glucopyranosyl D glucose It rotates the plane of polarized light further to the right than does dextrose and possesses a lower cupric oxide reducing power...
