Dried Glucose Syrup
Formula:
C6H12O6
GOST/CAS:
CAS 68131-37-3 / ГОСТ 33917
Dried glucose syrup (a spray-dried, purified mixture of food-grade saccharides obtained through the controlled enzymatic hydrolysis of starch) is a versatile, multi-functional component widely utilized in the food industry as a texturizer, sweetener, and anti-crystallization agent. The product is a fine, free-flowing white powder with excellent water solubility. Due to its balanced carbohydrate profile (glucose, maltose, polysaccharides) and adjustable dextrose equivalent (DE), it effectively replaces liquid glucose syrup and sugar, enhancing organoleptic properties and extending the shelf life of finished products.
Applications
Confectionery Industry: Used in the production of chocolate, praline masses, caramel, chewing gum, and fillings where the presence of excess moisture is critical. It prevents sugar (sucrose) crystallization and ensures a smooth, uniform texture.
Ice Cream and Frozen Desserts: Applied to regulate the freezing point and bind free water. It inhibits the formation of large ice crystals, providing a creamy consistency and stability during storage.
Dairy Products and Dry Mixes: Incorporated into infant formula formulas, non-dairy creamer substitutes, yogurts, and sauces. It serves as an excellent carrier (bulking agent) in instant dry products and beverages, preventing caking and lumping.
Bakery Industry: Utilized in doughs and glazes to intensify the fermentation process, improve the crumb pore structure, and impart an appetizing golden-brown crust through a controlled Maillard reaction.
Key Advantages
Anti-Crystallization Properties: Effectively blocks the growth of sugar crystals in fondants, creams, and glazes, maintaining softness and an appealing commercial appearance throughout the entire shelf life.
Moisture Management and Humectancy: Retains moisture within the product structure, preventing premature drying and staling of baked goods and confectionery items.
Excellent Solubility and Flowability: Disperses easily in liquids without forming lumps. The optimal particle size eliminates separation and settling within complex dry mixes.
Clean Taste and Processability: Features a mild, moderate sweetness without any off-odors, which helps highlight the natural flavor and aroma of the main ingredient while reducing overall caloric content.
