It is because glucose is not acidic it is a alkaline

Nope. Glucose is neither acid nor alkali. Glucose does not disassociate into ions when dissolved in water and has no effect on pH, thus also has no effect on litmus indicator.

Glucose is a neutral substance and does not possess the ability to donate or accept protons in an acidic or basic environment. Litmus paper changes color only when exposed to substances that are capable of altering its pH. Since glucose does not influence the pH of the solution, it does not change the color of blue litmus paper.
