Product type
Glucose syrup is a thick, viscous liquid made from the hydrolysis of starch, typically derived from corn, wheat, or potatoes. It is primarily composed of glucose and is used as a sweetener, thickener, and humectant in various food products. The syrup is produced through enzymatic or acid hydrolysis processes that break down starch into simpler sugars, resulting in a syrup that is sweet and has a high solubility.
| Composition | Primarily glucose with varying levels of other sugars |
| Viscosity | 200 to 1000 mPa·s at 25°C |
| Color | Clear to light amber |
| pH level | 4.0 to 6.0 |
| Shelf life | 12 to 24 months when stored properly |
When selecting glucose syrup, buyers should consider the desired viscosity and sweetness level for their specific application. It is also important to specify the source of starch (corn, wheat, or potato) as this can affect flavor and performance. Additionally, inquire about certifications such as food safety standards and quality assurance to ensure compliance with regulations. Quantities should be discussed based on production needs.
