English[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From dextro- + -ose (“right sugar”).
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
dextrose (countable and uncountable, plural dextroses)
- The naturally occurring dextrorotatory form of glucose monosaccharide molecule.
- 1895, Richard Lloyd Whiteley, chapter XXXV, in Organic Chemistry: The Fatty Compounds[1], London, New York: Longmans, Green, and Co., →OCLC, page 263:
- The saccharides include such substances as dextrose and levulose, which are typical examples of the two classes into which these bodies are divisible, viz. the Aldoses and Ketoses.
Usage notes[edit]
Levose is not the antonym L-glucose form, due to the origins of stereochemistry and sugar research. "Levose" is a misspelling of levulose (also misspelled as levolose), D-fructose, due to those origins.
