What is organic glucose syrup?
Organic Glucose Syrup is a natural, sweet liquid derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of organic corn starch. The result is a versatile syrup known for its mild sweetness, smooth consistency, and numerous applications in the food industry. It is prized for its ability to enhance the texture, flavor, and stability of a variety of products. Depending on the dextrose equivalent (DE) value, Organic Glucose Syrup can vary in sweetness and viscosity, making it adaptable for different culinary needs.
Produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, Organic Glucose Syrup is certified organic, ensuring a clean and sustainable product. The production process involves breaking down the starch molecules into smaller sugars through the use of natural enzymes, resulting in a syrup that is both delicious and health-conscious.
One of the standout characteristics of Organic Glucose Syrup is its ability to act as a humectant, which means it helps retain moisture in products. This makes it particularly valuable in baking and confectionery, where it helps keep items like cakes, cookies, and candies soft and fresh for longer periods. Its high viscosity also makes it an excellent thickening agent, adding body to sauces, dressings, and beverages.
Organic Glucose Syrup is widely used in the production of ice cream, where it helps control the formation of ice crystals, resulting in a smoother texture. It is also a common ingredient in jams and jellies, providing the necessary sweetness and consistency without the crystallization issues associated with some other sweeteners.
In addition to its culinary uses, Organic Glucose Syrup is found in pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. Its natural sweetness can mask the bitterness of certain medications, making them more palatable. Moreover, it provides a quick source of energy, making it a valuable component in energy bars and sports drinks.
The health benefits of Organic Glucose Syrup extend beyond its functional properties. Being low on the glycemic index, it provides a steady release of energy, helping to maintain balanced blood sugar levels. This makes it an ideal sweetener for individuals managing diabetes or those seeking to maintain a stable energy level throughout the day.
We offer two specifications of organic glucose syrup: DE20-40, DE40-60. The DE value indicates the degree of hydrolysis of the starch and the sweetness level of the syrup. The higher the DE value, the sweeter and thinner the syrup.
