Corn Sweeteners

High Fructose Corn Syrup
HFCS has undergone enzymatic processing to convert its glucose into fructose and has then been mixed with pure corn syrup (100% glucose) to produce a desired sweetness. In the United States, HFCS is typically used as a sugar substitute and is ubiquitous in processed foods and beverages, including soft drinks, yogurt, industrial bread, cookies, salad dressing, and tomato soup. **The higher fructose content provides ease of handling and improved functionality in a wide variety of end uses. HFCS is the ideal liquid sweetener for all food and bottling applications.

Corn Syrup
Clear, clean tasting, odorless, liquid sweetener manufactured from corn starch. Functional properties include viscosity, sweetness, colligative properties, fermentability, hygroscopicity and contribution to browning. Corn Syrup is made from the starch of maize or “”corn”" (U.S.) and is composed mainly of glucose. Corn syrup is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor.

Dextrose
Better known today as glucose, this sugar is the chief source of energy in the body. Glucose is chemically considered a simple sugar.

Crystalline Fructose
Obtained from processing corn or sugar is used in food and beverages as a nutritive sweetener. It’s roughly 1.2 times the sweetness of table sugar in most food applications. Crystalline fructose is a processed sweetener derived from corn that is almost entirely fructose. It consists of at least 98% pure fructose, any remainder being water and trace minerals.
