Glucose Syrup

Glucose syrup is another product which is obtained from starch hydrolysis. Based on the degree of hydrolysis (DE equivalent), glucose syrups with different properties are obtainable, which possess different characteristics. The glucose syrup produced at Zar Fructose is based on enzymatic reaction which has several advantages compared to the traditional and outdated acidic induced hydrolysis:

• Being Colorless and transparent;
• Higher purity;
• No off-taste or off-odor;
• Higher stability;
• Consistent quality;
• No use of chemicals (acid) in the production process, and hence no chemical residues;

Followings are Functional Characteristics
of Glucose syrups:

• Giving a uniform and coherent texture;
• Giving a mild sweet taste;
• Giving a glossy appearance in final products;
• Increasing the shelf life of the products;
• Giving consistency and increasing brix in products;
• Giving a golden crust in baking products;

Applications Glucose Syrup

Glucose syrup DE 38

This product is mostly used in following applications:
• Jelly candies: preventing sugar crystallization and improving chewability;
• Chewing gums: preventing stickiness and adhesiveness to the teeth and improving the chewability;
• Toffee and caramel: controlling moisture content of the product, increasing shelf life and improving chewability;
• Hard candies: preventing the candies from sticking to the hand, increased transparency and creating a crunchy texture;
• Fruit jams and concentrates: creating the desired consistency and texture, controlling crystallization and increasing shelf life;

Glucose syrup DE 42

Specific uses of Glucose Syrup DE 42 include the following:
• Cakes and cookies: Sweetening and creating the desired texture and consistency;
• Ice cream and dairy desserts: creating the desired texture and improving the mouthfeel and balancing the sweetness;
• Gaz and halva: creating the desired texture and balanced sweetness;
• Fruit jams and concentrates: creating the desired consistency and texture, controlling crystallization and increasing shelf life;

Glucose syrup DE 60

The specific uses of Glucose Syrup DE 60 include the following:
• Fruit juices: creating a mild sweetness and improving the mouthfeel;
• Fruit juices with pulps: producing a stable product with a good mouthfeel;
• Bakery products: creating a mild sweet taste and a bright brown color

Glucose Syrup DE 95 (Liquid dextrose)

Compared to all glucose syrups, this syrup is sweeter and less viscous. Glucose syrup DE95 or liquid dextrose is a good substrate in biotechnology, especially in the preparation of fermentation culture medium.
Specific uses of Glucose Syrup DE95 include the following:
• Ethanol Production;
• Production of vinegar, citric acid and penicillin;
• Production of xanthan and lysine;
• Yeast production;
