Liquid Glucose 80% Food grade
Liquid Glucose 80% BP is a purified, concentrated aqueous solution of glucose (dextrose), typically containing 80% w/w of glucose and other related saccharides. It is a clear, colorless to pale yellow, viscous liquid with a sweet taste. Derived primarily from starch hydrolysis (usually corn or rice), it is widely used in food & beverage formulations as a sweetener, and stabilizing agent. Liquid glucose enhances the viscosity and mouthfeel of syrups, acts as a base for tonics and elixirs, and provides a source of energy in nutritional supplements.
