Technical Document
Liquid Glucose Liquid glucose is a versatile starch hydrolysate syrup manufactured through complete acid-enzyme hydrolysis of corn or wheat starch, delivering functional sweetness (0.5-0.7x sucrose), humectancy, crystallization prevention, and bodying properties essential for texture control, moisture management, and process stability. In the food industry, it provides cost-effective bulk sweetness with excellent pumpability, heat tolerance up to 140°C during UHT processing, and versatile functionality preventing sugar crystallization in confectionery while extending shelf life through bound water activity depression, ideal for hard candies, bakery jams, and ice cream bases.
