What is organic glucose syrup?
Organic Glucose Syrup is a high-quality, naturally sourced syrup produced from organic starch (typically corn or wheat). It is a clear, viscous liquid that is used extensively in the food industry as a sweetener, thickening agent, and moisture-retaining ingredient. Our Organic Glucose Syrup comes in two different specifications: DE20-40 and DE40-60, referring to the Dextrose Equivalent (DE), which indicates the level of sweetness and the degree of hydrolysis of the syrup. DE20-40 offers a milder sweetness, while DE40-60 provides a sweeter profile for products requiring higher sweetness or viscosity.
Both specifications are certified organic by USDA and EU standards, ensuring the absence of pesticides, GMOs, and synthetic chemicals. Our Organic Glucose Syrup is free from artificial additives, making it an ideal clean-label ingredient for various applications, including confectionery, beverages, baked goods, and more.
Key Features:
