dextrose (countable and uncountable, plural dextroses)
The naturally-occurring dextrorotatory form of glucose monosaccharide molecule.
Levose is not the antonym L-glucose form, due to the origins of stereochemistry and sugar research. "Levose" is a misspelling of levulose (also misspelled as levolose), D-fructose, due to those origins.

Dex"trose`, n. Etym: [See Dexter.] (Chem.)
Definition: A sirupy, or white crystalline, variety of sugar, C6H12O6 (so called from turning the plane of polarization to the right), occurring in many ripe fruits. Dextrose and levulose are obtained by the inversion of cane sugar or sucrose, and hence called invert sugar. Dextrose is chiefly obtained by the action of heat and acids on starch, and hence called also starch sugar. It is also formed from starchy food by the action of the amylolytic ferments of saliva and pancreatic juice.
Note: The solid products are known to the trade as grape sugar; the sirupy products as glucose, or mixing sirup. These are harmless, but are only about half as sweet as cane or sucrose.

Contrary to popular belief, coffee beans are not technically beans. They are referred to as such because of their resemblance to legumes. A coffee bean is a seed of the Coffea plant and the source for coffee. It is the pit inside the red or purple fruit, often referred to as a cherry. Just like ordinary cherries, the coffee fruit is also a so-called stone fruit.
