Glucose syrup 1 kg

Product detailed description

Glucose syrup, also known as corn syrup, is used in confectionery for several reasons. Its main benefits include:

Preventing sugar crystallization: Glucose syrup helps maintain a smooth texture in candies such as caramels, bonbons, and fondants. The presence of glucose prevents sucrose (table sugar) from crystallizing, which is crucial for maintaining the correct consistency of products.

Moisture retention: It helps keep products moist and prevents them from drying out. This is useful for baked goods, jelly candies, or chocolate creams for tarts, where retaining a certain level of moisture is desirable.

Sweetening: Glucose syrup adds sweetness to products, though it is less sweet than pure sucrose (table sugar). This makes it suitable for use in products where a milder sweetness is desired or when combined with other sweeteners to achieve the desired sweetness profile.

Extending shelf life: By retaining moisture, glucose syrup can also help extend the shelf life of some confections and baked goods by slowing down their hardening or spoilage.

Texture customization: Depending on the amount of glucose syrup used, the texture of the final product can be adjusted—from soft and chewy to hard and brittle. This allows manufacturers to precisely control the consistency of their products.
