A sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, {C6H12O6}
(so called from turning the plane of polarization to the
right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose
are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and
hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by
the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also
{starch sugar}. It is also formed from starchy food by the
action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic
juice.
Note: The solid products are known to the trade as grape
sugar; the sirupy products as glucose, or mixing sirup.
These are harmless, but are only about half as sweet as
cane or sucrose.
