What it is
High maltose corn syrup solids are a type of corn syrup that has been dried into a powder. They are made from corn starch through a process called hydrolysis, which breaks down the starch into smaller sugar molecules, including maltose. The resulting syrup is then dehydrated to create a solid ingredient.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use high maltose corn syrup solids primarily as a sweetener and bulking agent. Their high maltose content provides a less sweet taste than regular sugar and contributes to a desirable texture in dry mixes. They are often found in dry soup mixes, baking mixes, and other processed foods where a stable, powdered sweetener is needed.
Health notes
High maltose corn syrup solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. Like other sugars, excessive consumption can contribute to caloric intake. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar corn-derived sweeteners. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
High maltose corn syrup solids are derived from corn, which is not one of the nine major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
