Liquid Glucose is the purified concentrated aqueous solution of nutritive saccharides obtained from the partial hydrolysis of edible starch, which is purified and concentrated to required solids. The degree of hydrolysis or the cleavage of starch molecule is measured by Dextrose Equivalent. It consist chiefly of Dextrose, Dextrin’s, Maltose and Water. Our strictly controlled manufacturing process ensures production of WATER CLEAR liquid glucose.
Since, it is less expensive as compared to the price of the sugar, hence, it is majorly used as a sweetener (partial replacement of sugar)
