Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called <i>invert sugar</i>. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also <altname>starch sugar</altname>. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice.</def><-- called also glucose. -->

<note>&hand; The solid products are known to the trade as <i>grape sugar</i>; the sirupy products as <i>glucose</i>, or <i>mixing sirup</i>. These are harmless, but are only about half as sweet as cane or sucrose.</note>
