Description
A naturally occurring sugar found in plants and animals. Glucose is a clear, crystalline water-soluble carbohydrate most often used for flavoring foods and for fermentation. In art, aqueous solutions of glucose (Corn syrup) have been used as a Glycerol substitute to plasticize glue and starch pastes. Glucose can attract insects and is susceptible to biological growth.
Synonyms and Related Terms
