Brief introduction:
Glucose syrup, allso called as corn syrup or maltose syrup
Detailed introduction to liquid glucose:
1: Dry substance: 75-84 % min.
2: DE value (dextrose equivalent): 46-55
3: pH value: 4.0-5.5
4: Boil temperature: 135 celsius degrees min
5: Transparency: 96% min
6: Viscosity: 45000cp
7: Protein: 0.10 max
8: Ash: 0.3 % max
Characteristics:
1. Cool and transparent, soft sweet, good taste, absorbed by the human body digestion, it is a kind of trophism sweet taste raw material.
2. The sweetness of maltose syrup is about 40% of the sucrose's, 60% of glucose's
3. Well anti-sand in the candy, fruit jelly, jam and other food products, and crystallization and anti-sand are seldom occurred
4. Stable at high temperature and acid condition, especially suitable for the candy
5. Well in keeping wet, fragrant, permanence of color. The maltose and the water form composition, so enhance water and wet holding capacity at the same time reduce water activity
6. Stable in the chemistry performance, low in freezing point and high in expansibility
7. Unique viscosity in food and drinks, which can be served as modifying agent
8. The maltose is not decomposed easily by the oral cavity bacterial, and produces the acid, so it can prevent decayed tooth
