An important building block of carbohydrates typically making up 8 to 10 percent of wort sugars. Pure, commercial glucose, sometimes called dextrose, always contains a certain amount of dextrins which, being unfermentable, remain in the beer and give it a sweet, mellow flavor. Syn dextrose; corn sugar.
