Glucose syrup is a sweet, thick liquid that is commonly used in food production and baking. It is made by breaking down cornstarch into glucose, a simple sugar that is easy to digest and absorb. The result is a syrup that is sweeter than regular sugar and has a smooth, sticky texture. Glucose syrup is a versatile ingredient that is often used as a sweetener in processed foods such as candy, baked goods, and soft drinks. It can also be used to prevent crystallization and improve the texture of frozen desserts and confections. In addition, it is used as a humectant to keep food moist and fresh.
