Corn Syrup Solids

Properties

Corn syrup solids are produced by carrying out the corn syrup refining process until the dextrose content makes up more than 20% of the total dry product. Because of this high ratio of dextrose, corn syrup solids are often used as a sweetener, especially in low-fat foods. Corn syrup is often used in low-fat foods as it adds sweetness, viscosity, and improves texture. Easy to handle, has high solution clarity and is bland in flavor. Has consistent carbohydrate distribution and low ash content. Controls crystallization and provides bulking properties.
