What is Organic Glucose Syrup?
Organic Glucose Syrup (also known as Liquid Glucose or Organic Corn Syrup) is a viscous, plant-based sweetener produced through enzymatic hydrolysis of certified organic corn or tapioca starch. With ≥80% dry solids and a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 40-45, this amber-colored syrup delivers mild sweetness, humectancy, and texture stabilization for clean-label, low-GI, and allergen-sensitive formulations.
Key Highlights
- Functional Versatility:
- Dextrose Equivalent (DE 40-45): Balances sweetness, viscosity, and crystallization control.
- Humectant & Cryoprotectant: Retains moisture in baked goods and prevents ice crystal formation in frozen desserts.
- Clean & Mild:
- Subtle Sweetness: 30-40% of sucrose’s sweetness, ideal for flavor enhancement without overpowering.
- Non-GMO & Allergen-Free: No corn protein residues, suitable for gluten-free and vegan products.
- Sustainable & Ethical: USDA Organic, EU Organic, non-GMO, vegan, kosher, halal.

FAQs
Q: Is organic glucose syrup the same as corn syrup?
A: Yes, but organic versions use non-GMO crops and avoid synthetic processing aids.
Q: Can diabetics consume organic glucose syrup?
A: While lower glycemic than sucrose, moderate consumption is advised. Consult a healthcare provider.
Q: Is it suitable for vegan diets?
A: Absolutely! It’s 100% plant-derived and cruelty-free.
Q: How does it differ from organic agave syrup?
A: Glucose syrup is less sweet, thicker, and better for texture control, while agave is higher in fructose.
Q: Can I use it in sugar-free products?
A: No—glucose syrup contains carbohydrates. Pair with low-calorie sweeteners (e.g., allulose) for reduced-sugar formulations.
