Dextrose equivalent of sugar

[Mr. D]

If a recipe calls for 1/3 cup of turbinado sugar, how much dextrose needs to be used?

[malkore]

well, volume wise, it'd be teh same.
but in terms of sweetness, it'll be a lot sweet with dextrose.

what exactly are you making?

[Mr. D]

Today is my carb load day on UD2.0. So Im looking to minimize sucrose,fructose and maximize glucose, so I am making this recipe:

6 cups milk
¾ cup rice
½ cup raisins
¼ teaspoon fresh cardamom powder
½ bay leaf
½ cup turbinado sugar

In large saucepan combine milk, rice, and bay leaf. Cook on high heat for 15 minutes, stirring very frequently. Bring to a rolling boil and then lower heat. Simmer for 40 more minutes until it thickens. Remove bay leaf and add sugar, raisins, and cardamom. Refrigerate until cold.

I am cutting everything in the recipe by 2/3 for serving size purpose. My question is do i need to put 1/3 cup dextrose or less to make it equally sweet.

Up to 100g surcose and 50g fructose is fine on a carb load BTW.

Yea, dex is alot sweeter. You might have to play around withthat one 'til you get it right.
