Liquid glucose, also known as glucose syrup, is a viscous and clear sweetening agent made from hydrolyzed starch. It is a versatile ingredient used in the food and pharmaceutical industries for various purposes. Liquid glucose has a high viscosity and is often used to control the texture and consistency of food products. It contributes to the smoothness and mouthfeel of products like confectionery, ice cream, and sauces.

Liquid Glucose is primarily composed of glucose, maltose, and other oligosaccharides. It is also known as Corn Syrup. It is widely used across the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors for its versatile properties and functional benefits. At Elchemy, Liquid Glucose (CAS Number: 8029-43-4) is manufactured under stringent quality control measures, ensuring a product that meets global standards. Hygienically processed and packed, our liquid glucose is tested on defined parameters before being delivered to markets worldwide.
Produced from high-quality corn starch, Liquid Glucose is created through a process of hydrolysis. The starch is subjected to high temperatures and acids, followed by a series of two enzymatic reactions that convert the starch into a syrup. This process yields a product with exceptional thickening and sweetening capabilities. The composition of liquid glucose includes mono, di, and higher saccharides, making it a highly versatile ingredient that can be tailored to specific requirements, such as varying levels of sweetness and viscosity. These characteristics are controlled by adjusting the degree of hydrolysis, measured by the “Dextrose Equivalent” (DE). The higher the DE, the sweeter and less viscous the syrup becomes, allowing it to be customized for different applications.
One of the key advantages of Liquid Glucose is its moisture-retaining (humectant) property. This characteristic helps keep food products fresh by preventing them from drying out, making it an essential ingredient in baked goods, confectionery, and other food products. Additionally, Liquid Glucose prevents the crystallization of sugar, which enhances the texture and shelf life of products like candies, jams, and jellies. Its smooth consistency and mild sweetness make it a preferred choice for numerous food preparations.
In the pharmaceutical industry, Liquid Glucose is used as a base for medicinal syrups and tonics. Its soothing properties, combined with natural sweetness, make it an ideal carrier for medicinal compounds. It also serves as a carbon source in fermentation processes for producing biofuels, enzymes, and antibiotics.
Elchemy, as a trusted liquid glucose manufacturer and Supplier, ensures that our product meets the highest industry standards, providing a reliable solution to food, pharmaceutical, and industrial needs. Our focus on quality and consistency makes our product a preferred choice in the global market.
