Liquid Glucose
Liquid Glucose by RajApiaries: Versatile and Functional
At RajApiaries, we offer Liquid Glucose (also known as glucose syrup or corn syrup), a versatile ingredient widely used in the food industry. Produced through the hydrolysis of starch, typically from corn or rice, this syrup provides essential functional benefits for manufacturers. With its purified, concentrated form, Liquid Glucose by RajApiaries ensures the desired consistency and performance for various food applications.
What is Liquid Glucose?
Liquid glucose is a clear, viscous syrup derived from starch through hydrolysis. This process breaks starch into simpler sugars, mainly glucose, resulting in a syrup with sweet and functional properties. Key features of liquid glucose include:
- Anti-Crystallization: Prevents sugar crystallization in candies, caramels, and syrups, ensuring smooth finishes.
- Lower Freezing Point: Reduces ice crystal formation in frozen desserts, enhancing creaminess.
- Moderate Sweetness: Sweeter than sucrose but less sweet than high-fructose corn syrup, ideal for controlled sweetness.
Types of Liquid Glucose
We provide liquid glucose in different Dextrose Equivalent (DE) values to cater to specific needs. These include:
1. DE30
- Mild sweetness and smooth texture.
- Ideal for confectionery, bakery products, syrups, and sauces.
2. DE42
- Moderate sweetness and viscosity.
- Commonly used in soft drinks, candies, jams, and processed fruits.
3. DE60a
- Higher sweetness and viscosity.
- Perfect for sweets, confectionery, and food additives requiring stronger sweetening power.
Applications of Liquid Glucose
1. Confectionery
- Used in candies, toffees, and caramels.
- Prevents crystallization, providing smooth, glossy finishes.
2. Beverages
- Enhances sweetness and texture in soft drinks and energy beverages.
- Stabilizes consistency in carbonated and flavored drinks.
3. Bakery Products
- Retains moisture, improves texture, and extends shelf life in cakes, biscuits, and pastries.
4. Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts
- Controls freezing point, preventing large ice crystals for smoother textures.
5. Jams and Jellies
- Maintains texture and consistency while reducing crystallization.
6. Pharmaceuticals and Nutrition
- Provides a quick source of carbohydrates in health drinks and nutritional supplements.
