  • Glucose syrup is a sugar syrup derived from potato starch. Here are some common culinary uses of glucose syrup:
  • Baked goods: Glucose syrup is often used in baked goods such as bread, cakes, and cookies to add sweetness and improve the texture. It helps to retain moisture and create a soft, tender crumb.
  • Confectionery: Glucose syrup is a common ingredient in confectionery such as candy, caramels, and chocolate. It helps to prevent crystallization and create a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Beverages: Glucose syrup is used in beverages such as sports drinks and energy drinks to provide a quick source of energy. It is also used in some fruit juices and sodas to enhance the sweetness.
  • Ice cream: Glucose syrup is often used in ice cream to improve the texture and prevent crystallization. It helps to create a smooth, creamy texture and improve the scoopability.
  • Sauces and marinades: Glucose syrup is sometimes used in sauces and marinades to add sweetness and improve the texture. It can also act as a thickener and help to create a glossy finish.
  • Canning and preserving: Glucose syrup is used in canning and preserving to prevent crystallization of the sugar and ensure a smooth texture.
  • In sugar work, glucose prevents recrystallisation and makes sugar mass elastic.
  • Dextrose Equivalent (DE): 43
