What is the use of glucose?

Glucose plays an important role in biology and is an energy source and metabolic intermediate of living cells, i.e. the main energy supplier for living organisms. Plants can produce glucose by photosynthesis. It is widely used in confectionery manufacturing and pharmaceutical fields. Let us read the following words and know more about the glucose.

What is the use of glucose?

(1) Fermentation industry

The growth of microorganisms needs an appropriate carbon nitrogen ratio. As the carbon source of microorganisms, glucose is the main fermentation medium that needs a large amount of glucose, such as antibiotics, monosodium glutamate, vitamins, amino acids, organic acids, enzymes and so on. Microbial polysaccharides and organic solvents are raw materials.

(2) Food industry

At present, crystal glucose is mainly used in food industry. With the improvement of people's living standards and the continuous development of science and technology in the food industry, glucose is more and more widely used in the food industry. For a long time, the food industry will become the largest market in the future.

What role does glucose play in medicine?

Glucose is mainly used as a dietary supplement for injection (glucose injection) in medicine.

In the food industry, glucose can be processed by isomerase to produce fructose, especially fructose syrup with 42% fructose, which has the same sweetness as sucrose and has become an important product in the current sugar industry.

Glucose is an indispensable nutrient for the metabolism of living organisms. The heat released by its oxidation reaction is an important source of energy for human life activities. It can be used directly in the food and pharmaceutical industries, as a reducing agent in the printing, dyeing and tanning industries. glucose is often used as a reducing agent in the mirror industry and in the silver plating of thermos bubbles. In industry, a large amount of glucose is used as a raw material for the synthesis of vitamin C (ascorbic acid).

What chemical properties does glucose have?

Glucose is the most widely used monosaccharide in nature. glucose contains five hydroxyl groups and one aldehyde group and has the properties of polyols and aldehydes.

It decomposes easily when heated under alkaline conditions. It should be kept tightly closed. It is quickly absorbed after oral administration and recycled by tissue after entering the human body. 1 Mol glucose is completely oxidized to release 2870 kJ energy, some of this energy is converted into 30 or 32 Mol ATP, and the rest of the energy is released in the form of heat to maintain body temperature, and can also be converted into glycogen or fat storage by liver or muscle.
