Applications
High-maltose glucose syrup is used as a substitute for normal glucose syrup in the production of hard candy, at a given moisture level and temperature, a maltose solution has a lower viscosity than a glucose solution, but will still set to a hard product. Maltose is also less humectant than glucose so that candy produced with high-maltose syrup will not become sticky as easily as candy produced with a standard glucose syrup.
Description
High-maltose corn syrup is a food additive used as a sweetener and preservative. It primarily consists of the sugar maltose and is less sweet than high-fructose corn syrup, containing little to no fructose. Despite this, it is sweet enough to be useful in commercial food production. To be classified as “high,” the syrup must contain at least 50% maltose. Typically, it contains 40–50% maltose, though some varieties can have up to 70%.
