Characteristics & Applications:

DMH is extensively used in many food products both in liquid and in dry forms.                 It imparts a tender feel to sweets and creates a cool sensation in the mouth.          It is widely used for its nutritional value-one gram of DMH supplies approximately 3600 calories of energy. Being a simple sugar, it is readily absorbed by the body and provides instant energy to overcome physical fatigue. Besides enhancing flavour and sweetness of cakes, biscuits and other bakery products, DMH contributes to the crust colour and texture. It accelerates the brewing reaction and fermentability and reduces standing time as it dissolves and cools the dough.
