What it is

Dried glucose syrup is a sweetener made from corn starch. It is produced by drying liquid glucose syrup, which is made by breaking down corn starch into simpler sugars. This process typically involves enzymes or acids.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dried glucose syrup to foods as a sweetener, to improve texture, and to help prevent crystallization. It is commonly found in baked goods, candies, ice cream, and processed desserts.

Health notes

Dried glucose syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and contributes calories to the diet. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated glucose syrups. Like other added sugars, high intake can contribute to excess calorie consumption.

Allergen info

Dried glucose syrup is derived from corn, which is not one of the nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
