Glucose is widely existed in nature, named from the grape because of its high glucose content. Free glucose not only exist in plant, especially in fruit, but also in honey and animal. For normal human body, every 100ml of blood usually contains 80-120 mg glucose. It is the ingredient in many saccharide compounds such as saccharose, maltose, starch, glycogen and vitamin, etc.

Properties: white crystal with sweet taste, easy soluble in water, difficult to dissolve in alcohol, insoluble in organic solvents such as ether, chloroform, neutral reaction to litmus.

Uses: as the essential element and most basic medical material, it enjoys wide functions and uses. Especially with the improvement of life condition, it is widely used in food industry as the substitute of saccharose,

1. Directly used to human body: improve human body's energy and stamina, helpful to detoxification and diaereses, used in injecta to cure hypoglycemia, cold and fever, dizziness and prostration, myocarditis, etc.

2. Used in pharmaceutical and chemical industry: divided into several type according to the difference in reaction mechanism:

• self-oxidation and combination to produce calcium gluconte, zinc gluconate, glucorone, etc.
• hydroreduction: produce sorbic alcohol and mannoalcohol.
• new-type fermentation: with the rapid development and advancement of science and technology, as most basic nutritious element, glucose is used to produce Vitamin B2, glutamine, ribose, etc.

3. Used in food industry: with the improvement of life condition and the development of food technology, glucose is more widely used in food industry.

4. Used in animal medicine industry: can directly used as drinking water agent or carrier in a wide variety of animal medicine.

5. Quality Index:

1). Properties: white crystal, granular powder, odorless, sweet taste, easy soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol.
2). Specific rotatory power: +52.0°--- +53.5°
3). Dry loss: ≤9.5%
