What is Organic Glucose Syrup?
Organic Glucose Syrup is meticulously produced from 100% pure, organically grown corn starch. Through a precise enzymatic hydrolysis process, the starch is broken down into a mixture of glucose, maltose, and longer-chain saccharides (dextrins). The specific hydrolysis conditions allow us to offer various grades of glucose syrup, characterized by their Dextrose Equivalent (DE), which indicates the percentage of reducing sugars present (primarily glucose). A higher DE signifies a sweeter, less viscous syrup with more readily available monosaccharides. The organic certification guarantees that the corn is cultivated and processed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, GMOs, or artificial additives, aligning with strict clean-label and natural ingredient standards.
Organic Glucose Syrup is highly valued for its unique combination of functional benefits and sensory appeal:
- Controlled Sweetness: Offers a clean, non-cloying sweetness that can be tailored by DE value, allowing for precise flavor control.
- Rapid Energy Source: High glucose content provides quick and efficient energy.
- Excellent Humectancy: Helps retain moisture, preventing products from drying out and extending shelf life.
- Prevents Sugar Crystallization: Crucial in confectionery and frozen desserts for controlling crystallization and maintaining smooth textures.
- Enhances Body & Mouthfeel: Contributes to a rich, full-bodied texture in beverages and baked goods.
- High Stability: Stable under various processing conditions, ensuring consistent product quality.
- Binder & Thickener: Acts as an effective binding agent and provides viscosity in liquid and semi-solid formulations.
With its functional versatility, clean-label appeal, and alignment with growing health and performance trends, our Organic Glucose Syrup is the ideal ingredient for manufacturers looking to enhance the nutritional profile and market appeal of their products with a pure, transparent, and superior sweetening and functional solution.

FAQs
Q: What is the source of your Organic Glucose Syrup?
A: Our Organic Glucose Syrup is derived from 100% organically grown corn starch through a natural enzymatic hydrolysis process.
Q: What does “DE” mean in relation to Organic Glucose Syrup?
A: DE stands for Dextrose Equivalent. It indicates the percentage of reducing sugars (primarily glucose) in the syrup on a dry weight basis. A higher DE means more simple sugars, resulting in a sweeter, less viscous syrup with higher fermentability. A lower DE means more complex carbohydrates (dextrins), leading to a less sweet, more viscous syrup that is better for texture and body.
Q: Is Organic Glucose Syrup gluten-free?
A: Yes, despite being derived from corn, our Organic Glucose Syrup is gluten-free. The manufacturing process thoroughly purifies the syrup, removing any gluten-containing proteins, making it safe for use in gluten-free formulations.
Q: What’s the typical shelf life and recommended storage for bulk quantities?
A: Our Organic Glucose Syrup typically has a shelf life of 12-24 months (depending on the DE and storage conditions). It should be stored in a cool, dry place (ideally below 70°F / 21°C) in its original sealed containers, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain its quality and prevent crystallization or degradation.
Q: Can Organic Glucose Syrup be used as a sole sweetener?
A: While it provides sweetness, its primary role is often as a functional ingredient. Due to its milder sweetness compared to sucrose, it is frequently used in combination with other sweeteners (including high-intensity sweeteners) to achieve desired sweetness levels while leveraging its excellent functional properties (texture, humectancy, crystallization control).
