Dextrose is the most common form of glucose.As such, it is found in almost all living things, both animal and vegetable. It is also known as grape sugar and blood sugar. It is important in both photosynthesis (in plants) and cell respiration (in animals). undefined

Can you make Dextrose from Swine?

Technically yes, although this would be difficult, require a great deal of inputs and would not result in a product you would call "edible sugar". Dextrose is a specific sugar molecule; in physiologic systems dextrose can be formed from fatty acid chains or proteins via complex enzyme pathways. Those pathways are typically found in plant cells, as plants use carbohydrates (like dextrose) as an energy storage molecule. Animal cells can break down dextrose and convert it to glucose, but typically cannot form dextrose from other molecules. If you really wanted to work at it, you could take a pork carcass and turn a fair portion of it into dextrose, although (as stated above) it would be an extremely energy and enzyme-intensive process.


If you have a 70 percent solution of dextrose How many grams of dextrose is in 400ml of this solution?

In a 70% dextrose solution, 70% of the total weight is dextrose. To calculate the grams of dextrose in 400ml of this solution, you would multiply 400ml by 70% (or 0.70) to find the amount of dextrose present.
