Glucose syrup is mainly used as a sweetener, thickener, and moisture-retaining agent. Since it does not crystallize easily, you can use it to make candy, fondant, beer, canned goods, baked goods and more! Most glucose syrup comes from corn but there are some glucose syrups that are made from potatoes, tapioca, barley and more. The syrup is obtained from these sources by breaking down the glucose molecules in these starchy foods through a process called hydrolysis to form a concentrated, sweet product with high glucose content.
Here are some functions of using glucose syrup:
- Prevents crystallization.
- Helps to preserve the food.
- Acts as a humectant in food.
- Adds volume to confectionery and other food.
- Making sweets becomes sweeter, chewier, and stickier.
- Adds sweetness to beverages such as juices, fizzy pops, and sport drinks.
