What it is
Organic glucose syrup is a liquid sweetener made from the starch of organic corn or wheat. It is produced by breaking down the starch into simpler sugars, primarily glucose. The process yields a clear, viscous liquid that is less sweet than regular sugar.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic glucose syrup as a sweetener, to add body, and to prevent sugar crystallization in foods. It helps maintain moisture and provides a smooth texture. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, ice cream, and jams.
Health notes
Organic glucose syrup is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of carbohydrates and calories, similar to other sugars. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated glucose and its derivatives. Like other added sugars, excessive consumption may contribute to health concerns.
Allergen info
Not a major allergen. While derived from corn or wheat, the processing removes allergenic proteins.
