Corn starch syrup is a maltose-based syrup prepared by high-quality corn starch. It is a colorless, transparent and viscous liquid. The product is clear, transparent, mild and pure, and low in sweetness. It has malt flavor, high boiling temperature, low freezing point, anti-crystallization and many other advantages. It is often used in jam and jelly to prevent crystal precipitation of sugar. High malt has good expandability, so it is also used in large quantities. It is also widely used in the fields of candy, beverages, foods, frozen foods, condiments, etc. in bread, cakes and beer.

Corn starch syrup application

However, except the maltose, the corn starch syrup also include the glucose syrup and high fructose corn syrup, its preparation method is similar, also can use the same starch syrup equipment to produce. Modern starch syrup preparation method usually adopt the enzyme method for starch hydrolysis.

Corn starch syrup production process

Glucose syrup:
Use corn starch milk as raw material, converted into glucose by double enzymatic method, and then treated by slag removal, decolorization, desalting of ion exchange resin, etc., and then refined by concentrating, crystallization, separation, dehydration and drying processes.

High fructose corn syrup:
This also a syrup made from corn starch, not only used in candy but also in carbonated drinks. Actually the high fructose corn syrup is produced from the glucose transfer to get by isomerism system which requests the special equipment and isomerism enzyme.
