SUMMARY
The combination of glucose and water results in a simple sugar solution, commonly referred to as sugar water. This mixture is safe for consumption and can be stored in packets for a limited time, typically up to a few weeks, depending on storage conditions. When glucose, water, citric acid, and carbon dioxide are combined, the output resembles a fizzy drink, providing a sweet and tangy flavor profile. This mixture is not dangerous unless consumed in excessive quantities.
PREREQUISITES
