Description

Liquid Glucose CAS NO 8027-56-3 is a concentrated aqueous solution of saccharides obtained from the controlled hydrolysis of starch, primarily composed of glucose, maltose, and higher oligosaccharides. This versatile carbohydrate syrup is a fundamental ingredient valued for its functional properties as a sweetener, humectant, bulking agent, and fermentation substrate. It is essential for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and industrial biotechnology sectors seeking consistent quality and reliable supply for their production processes.

Application

• Food & Beverage Industry: Used as a sweetener, texture modifier, and bulking agent in confectionery (fondants, jellies), baked goods, dairy products, beverages, and canned fruits to control sweetness, prevent crystallization, and retain moisture.
• Pharmaceuticals: Serves as an excipient in syrups and liquid formulations, providing sweetness, viscosity, and stability. It is also a key carbohydrate source in microbial culture media and fermentation processes.
• Industrial Fermentation: Acts as a primary, readily fermentable carbon source for the production of biofuels (e.g., bioethanol), organic acids, enzymes, and amino acids.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a humectant and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Animal Feed: Provides a concentrated, digestible energy source in feed formulations for livestock and poultry.

Quality Control

Our Liquid Glucose is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets specifications for key parameters such as dextrose equivalent (DE), solids content, pH, and microbiological purity. We can supply material compliant with relevant standards such as Food Chemical Codex (FCC) and USP-NF where applicable. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability.

Storage
