Chemical Structure:

Glucose, a monosaccharide, is an important carbohydrate in biology. The living cell uses it as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. Glucose is one of the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Two stereoisomers of the aldohexose sugars are known as glucose, only one of which (D-glucose) is biologically active. This form (D-glucose) is often referred to as dextrose monohydrate. The mirror-image of the molecule, L-glucose (CAS No: 921-60-8), cannot be metabolized by cells in the biochemical process known as glycolysis.
Glucose is used as sweetener and nutrient agent in food, it is widely used in bakery products, biscuits, alcoholic beverages, canned products, confectionary, meat industry, frozen desserts, etc; it is also used as vegetable preservative antistaling agent to keep the vegetables fresh. It is also used in pharmaceuticals (dextrose monohydrate is mainly used as oral medicine, dextrose anhydrous is mainly used as injection and intraveous drip).
