What is glucose syrup definition ? 

Glucose syrup definition is the purified and concentrated aqueous solution of nutritive saccharides derived from edible starch and having a dextrose equivalent (DE) of 20 and more. 

Glucose syrup have the following characteristics :

1. Dry matter not less than 70%.

2. Dextrose equivalent (DE) , expressed as d-glucose , of not less than 20% base on dry matter. 

3.  Sulphated ash content of not more than 1% on a dry basis . 

In  the glucose industry , the word ' glucose ' is take to mean syrup , whilst the word " dextrose ' is taken to mean the white crystalline soild ' dextrose monohydrate.

Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch .Because the glucose syrup is mainly processed from corn(maize) starch , so the glucose syrup is also  know as corn syrup .But the glucose syrup is also can process from potato starch , cassava starch , sweet potato starch, wheat starch and other kind edible starch . 

But now our company has the technology can produce glucose syrup from corn or rice / boken rice directly in the glucose syrup processing plant . Our company  glucose syrup processing plant  technology just need dry milling corn or rice to corn powder/rice power  first , then use the corn powder or rice powder to  produce the glucose syrup directly .
