Glucose
Glucose Syrup & Dextrose
Glucose syrup by DE value, and dextrose monohydrate and anhydrous.
01 Overview
Glucose syrup is specified by dextrose equivalent, which governs sweetness, viscosity, hygroscopicity and browning behaviour. Low-DE syrups build body and control crystallisation; high-DE syrups sweeten and brown. Choosing the DE is a formulation decision, and the wrong one shows up as a sticky or crystallised finished product.

07 Supply & export note
Liquid glucose requires temperature management in transit to prevent crystallisation and microbial growth. We specify the containment and any heating requirement against the route and the season, and state the DE on the face of every offer.
