dextrose

Etymology
From “right sugar”.

Noun

 * 1) The naturally occurring dextrorotatory form of glucose monosaccharide molecule.

Usage notes
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.
