What is organic glucose syrup?
Organic Glucose Syrup is a high-quality, naturally sourced syrup produced from organic starch (typically corn or wheat). It is a clear, viscous liquid that is used extensively in the food industry as a sweetener, thickening agent, and moisture-retaining ingredient. Our Organic Glucose Syrup comes in two different specifications: DE20-40 and DE40-60, referring to the Dextrose Equivalent (DE), which indicates the level of sweetness and the degree of hydrolysis of the syrup. DE20-40 offers a milder sweetness, while DE40-60 provides a sweeter profile for products requiring higher sweetness or viscosity.
Both specifications are certified organic by USDA and EU standards, ensuring the absence of pesticides, GMOs, and synthetic chemicals. Our Organic Glucose Syrup is free from artificial additives, making it an ideal clean-label ingredient for various applications, including confectionery, beverages, baked goods, and more.
Production Process:
The production of Organic Glucose Syrup begins with the hydrolysis of organic starch (typically from corn, wheat, or potato) using natural enzymes. The starch is broken down into simpler sugars, primarily glucose, and then processed to achieve the desired DE level. The syrup is then filtered, concentrated, and refined to remove impurities and enhance purity. The final product is subjected to strict quality control to ensure it meets organic certification standards and is free from additives, preservatives, and artificial chemicals.
