Dried Refiners Syrup

Dried refiners syrup is a sweetener made from the concentrated juice of sugar cane or sugar beets. It is produced by boiling down the syrup extracted from the raw sugar, removing impurities, and then drying the remaining liquid into fine crystals or granules.

Manufacturers add dried refiners syrup primarily as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. Its fine texture allows it to dissolve easily, making it suitable for baked goods, confectionery, and as a topping for cereals and desserts.

Dried refiners syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a sweetener. Like other added sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated various sugars and syrups, but specific evaluations for dried refiners syrup are not widely publicized.
