Liquid Glucose Syrup

Liquid glucose syrup, also known simply as glucose syrup, is a sweet, viscous liquid derived from the hydrolysis of starch. Starch sources can vary, with corn (maize), wheat, rice, and potatoes being the most common. The process of hydrolysis involves breaking down the starch molecules into smaller sugars, primarily glucose, through the use of acids, enzymes, or a combination of both. The resulting syrup contains a mixture of glucose, maltose, oligosaccharides, and dextrins, depending on the extent of hydrolysis and the specific processing conditions.

About Liquid Glucose Syrup: 

Appearance: Liquid glucose syrup is typically clear or a light yellow color and has a thick, syrupy consistency.

Sweetness: It is less sweet than table sugar (sucrose) and is used in the food industry not just for its sweetening properties but also for its ability to add volume, texture, and stability to food products.

Moisture Retention: Due to its hygroscopic nature, it helps in retaining moisture in food products, extending their shelf life and keeping them soft.

Preventing Crystallization: Liquid glucose is effective in preventing sugar crystallization, making it an essential ingredient in candy making, ice creams, and frostings.

Fermentation: In brewing and alcohol production, it serves as a fermentable sugar source.

Freezing Point Depression: Its inclusion in frozen products like ice cream helps to control texture by reducing the freezing point and preventing the formation of large ice crystals.
