Liquid glucose, also known as glucose syrup, is a thick, clear, and sweet-tasting syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Liquid glucose is commonly used in the food industry as a sweetener, thickener, and humectant. It is often added to processed foods, such as baked goods, candies and beverages to enhance their flavour, texture, and shelf life. It is used as a substitute for sugar as it is less sweet and has a higher viscosity than regular table sugar. Liquid glucose has a number of advantages over other sweeteners. For instance, it is less prone to crystallisation and is more stable in high temperatures and acidic conditions, making it perfect for baking.
