Sugar dextrose is a solid, odorless substance with almost zero wettability. Forms a clear solution with water. The dextrose molecule consists of two glucose molecules, differing only in the relative position of atoms on its surface, which causes the phenomenon of mirror inversion when an aqueous solution of dextrose is saturated with an alcohol solution of copper sulfate. Other glucose isomers are close to dextrose: Dulcite (trispliose) and levulose (pentoerythritol), but the latter two-color molecules and their crystal lattices allow
