Corn syrup is a food syrup which is made from the starch of corn/maize and contains varying amounts of sugars: glucose, maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade. Corn syrup is used in foods to soften texture , add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor.
High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), also known as glucose–fructose, isoglucose and glucose–fructose syrup, [1] [2] is a sweetener made from corn starch. As in the production of conventional corn syrup , the starch is broken down into glucose by enzymes.
Commercial products are purified from corn. Inverted sugar syrup [1] – Pursuant to Code of Federal Regulation 21CFR184.1859, invert sugar is an "aqueous solution of inverted or partly inverted, refined or partly refined sucrose, the solids of which contain not more than 0.3 percent by weight of ash. The solution is colorless, odorless, and ...
Glucose syrup on a black surface. Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Glucose is a sugar. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch in the US, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup", but glucose syrup is also made from potatoes and wheat, and less often from barley, rice and cassava.
It is less sweet than high-fructose corn syrup [1] and contains little to no fructose. [1] It is sweet enough to be useful as a sweetener in commercial food production, however. [2] To be given the label "high", the syrup must contain at least 50% maltose. [3] Typically, it contains 40–50% maltose, though some have as high as 70%. [4] [5]
Sweetener products include glucose syrup, high maltose syrups, high fructose corn syrup, caramel color, dextrose, polyols, maltodextrins, and glucose and syrup solids. [47] Since its acquisition of PureCircle, Ingredion also produces plant-based stevia sweeteners and flavors for the food and beverage industry. [36]
See the Corn Refiners Association data for the compositions of glucose and fructose in HFCS according to manufacturing needs. The detailed analysis is in this PDF. The USDA nutrient data table shows dark corn syrup is 78% sugars and 22% water. Zefr 16:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)
