Product 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.
Moreover, Liquid Glucose 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.
