Dextrose is another name for glucose, and as you may know, glucose is a sugar, the simplest form of sugar in fact. The only reason that Frito Lay labels the ingredient as dextrose and not glucose is because dextrose is seemingly more consumer-friendly looking, since many do not know what it is. Therefore, dextrose is inserted into Doritos to add a slightly sweeter taste to Doritos. Its purpose is not very big and I'm sure that Doritos would be the same if it were taken out.
