3.Application scope and Usage
Glucose is widely used across multiple industries. In food production, it serves as a sweetener in beverages, baked goods, and confectionery. The pharmaceutical industry uses it in IV solutions and oral rehydration products. For industrial applications, glucose acts as a fermentation substrate in biofuel and biochemical production. It’s also commonly found in sports drinks for quick energy replenishment and in animal feed as a nutritional supplement. The medical field utilizes glucose in diagnostic tests and as an energy source in cell culture media.
4.Package and Storage
The packaging commonly used is plastic woven bags, paper-plastic bags or ton bags, with the specifications usually being 25kg per bag. Storage conditions: It needs to be stored in a light-protected, dry and ventilated environment. The temperature should be controlled between 10-30℃. Avoid high or low temperatures to prevent deterioration. Shelf life: The shelf life of unopened products is usually 2 years. After opening, it should be sealed and used as soon as possible.
