What it is

Glucose solids are a dried form of glucose syrup, which is made by breaking down starches, most commonly from corn. This process creates a powder or granular product primarily composed of glucose.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use glucose solids as a sweetener, bulking agent, and to improve texture in various foods. They help prevent sugar crystallization, add body, and can extend shelf life, commonly found in baked goods, powdered drink mixes, and confections.

Health notes

Glucose solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a source of simple sugars, they contribute calories to the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA has evaluated glucose as a food ingredient and has not set a specific acceptable daily intake (ADI) because it is a fundamental nutrient.
