Each Of The Following: Liquid Sucrose

Liquid sucrose is a solution made by dissolving common table sugar (sucrose) in water. It is a clear, viscous syrup that is easy to incorporate into food products. This form of sugar is essentially pre-dissolved granulated sugar.

Manufacturers use liquid sucrose primarily as a sweetener in a wide range of food products. Its liquid form allows for easier mixing and consistent distribution in beverages, baked goods, and confectioneries. It also contributes to texture, moisture retention, and browning in many applications.

Sucrose is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a form of added sugar, liquid sucrose contributes calories to the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated sucrose and set an acceptable daily intake. While sucrose itself is not toxic, excessive intake of added sugars from all sources is associated with various health concerns, including increased risk of dental cavities and difficulty maintaining a healthy weight.
