Corn Liquid Glucose

Corn Liquid Glucose

What is corn liquid glucose?

Corn liquid glucose, also known as corn syrup or glucose syrup, is a sweetener derived from corn starch. It is highly concentrated and contains a mixture of glucose, maltose, and higher sugar molecules. It has a thick and syrupy consistency and is hygroscopic, making it valuable in food manufacturing. Glucose syrup is a commercial sweetener with little nutritional value.

A sweetener made from maize starch, corn liquid glucose is often referred to as corn syrup or glucose syrup. It is made through the process of hydrolysis, which reduces the complex sugar molecules found in starch. It has a higher sweetness than other liquid sweeteners, a thick, syrupy viscosity, the ability to hold moisture, and an extended shelf life. To improve the shelf stability of foods like syrup, baked products, and sweets.

Where is it used?

Corn liquid glucose has a mild and neutral flavour profile, making it suitable for use in a variety of food and beverage applications. It acts as a binding and texturizing agent, prevents sugar crystallisation, and has functional properties in baking. In food manufacture, it functions as a binding and texturizing agent, avoiding crystallisation in confectionery items and contributing to browning, moisture retention, and softness in baking. It is also employed in the manufacture of medicines, cosmetics, and industrial procedures that require a liquid sweetener or texturizing.
