Brief Overview
Liquid glucose is colorless or light yellow, viscous syrup derived from purified corn starch through hydrolysis by the double enzyme method, decoloration, ion exchange, and purification. Liquid glucose has a high viscosity, humidity, sweetness, and pervasion. It has a moderately sweet flavor and is a starch sugar product widely used in the food industry. It also has such advantages as anti-crystallinity and a lower freezing point. It is commonly used in candy and beverages.
Manufacturing Process
Liquid glucose is produced commercially via the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch. Many crops can be used as a source of starch. Commercial glucose occurs as a component of inverted sugar, a roughly 1:1 mixture of glucose and fructose.
