Product description
Glucose syrup is a sweetener made from the hydrolysis of starch. It is commonly used in baking and confectionery for several reasons:
1. *Sweetening Agent:* It provides sweetness to products like candies, cookies, and cakes.
2. *Moisture Retention:* Glucose syrup helps retain moisture, which can improve the shelf life and texture of baked goods by preventing them from drying out.
3. *Texture Improvement:* In candies and confections, it prevents crystallization of sugar, helping to maintain a smooth texture.
4. *Viscosity:* It adds thickness to products like sauces, glazes, and desserts.
5. *Browning:* In baking, it contributes to the browning of baked goods, enhancing their appearance and flavor.
Glucose syrup is available in different forms, including liquid and powdered, and is commonly used in various bakery and confectionery products.
