Liquid Glucose

Chemical Description

• Liquid Glucose, also known as corn syrup or glucose syrup, is a thick, clear, and viscous sweetener made from corn starch.
• It is widely used in the food industry as a sweetener and a humectant.
• As a sweetener, Liquid Glucose is very versatile and can be used in a wide range of products, including candy, bakery products, beverages, ice cream, yogurt, and more.
• It is often used in combination with other sweeteners, such as sucrose or fructose, to enhance sweetness and improve texture and shelf life.
• In addition, liquid Glucose has a neutral flavor, which makes it a great option for masking off-tastes or flavors in other products.
• It acts as a humectant, meaning it helps to retain moisture and prevent foods from drying out or becoming stale.
• It also helps to keep baked goods soft and moist and prevents crystallization in frozen desserts. This makes it an important ingredient in many foods and beverages.
• Its main ingredients are Glucose, maltose, maltotriose, maltotetraose, and four more sugars.
• Liquid Glucose (Glucose syrup ) is purified concentrated aqueous solutions of soluble saccharides obtained from starch with a dextrose equivalent above 20.
• Starch milk is successively hydrolyzed, demineralized, decolorized, and then concentrated to obtain glucose syrups.
• It has a high viscosity, better moisture absorption, mild sweetness, and high osmotic pressure, and it also has some advantages, such as anti-crystallization and a low freezing point.
• It is widely used in many industries such as baking food, enzyme preparation, barm products, dairy products, meat products, flavoring and medicines, etc.
• Liquid Glucose is used as an excipient in the formulation of various pharmaceuticals, including cough syrups, vitamin tonics, and other liquid medications, due to its sweet taste and viscosity.
• Liquid Glucose is used in the production of adhesives due to its sticky and viscous properties.
• It is utilized in the textile industry for sizing and finishing fabrics to give them the desired texture and strength.
• Available in 300 Kg drum packaging.
