What it is

Glucose syrup powder is a dried form of glucose syrup, which is made from starch. Starch is typically sourced from corn, wheat, or potatoes. The starch is broken down into glucose through an enzymatic or acid process, and then the resulting syrup is dried into a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use glucose syrup powder as a sweetener, to improve texture, and to prevent crystallization in foods. It adds bulk and helps retain moisture. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes and cookies, as well as in confectionery and ice cream.

Health notes

Glucose syrup powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of carbohydrates and provides calories. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated glucose syrup and related substances. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to caloric intake.

Allergen info

Glucose syrup powder is not derived from one of the 9 major allergens. If derived from wheat, it may contain gluten, but usually, the processing removes gluten.
