PastryStar Dextrose 25 LB

Pastry Star Dextrose is a fine, white powder derived from corn (glucose monohydrate) used as a low-intensity sweetener and functional ingredient in a variety of culinary applications. It is commonly used in baking, confections, frozen desserts, and dry mixes to improve texture, mouthfeel, and shelf life.

Less sweet than sucrose and highly soluble, dextrose helps control freezing points in ice cream, enhances browning in baked goods, and contributes to a soft texture in candy and fillings. Supplied in a bulk 25 lb bag, it’s ideal for large-scale commercial production.
