So would substituting sugars with Dextrose powder (i.e. 100% Glucose) make sense? Dexterose powder is widely available and isn't expensive.
- cout 5y agoIIRC fructose is perceived as roughly twice as sweet as glucose, so you would need to use more sugar if you used glucose; I'm guessing that would be more expensive, otherwise HFCS would be less economically sensible.
- maltalex 5y agoSo it wouldn't make sense for many commercial products, but why aren't health conscious people using it at home to sweeten their tea? Also, why aren't there "premium"/"healthy" products using glucose instead of plain old sugar as a selling point?
