Glucose Syrup
Südzucker Glucose Syrups (DE-40, DE-50, DE-60, and DE-90) are colourless, viscous, and sweet-tasting liquid sweeteners that we produce by enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat starch.
The unique properties of our Glucose Syrup go beyond sweetening alone, and a wide variety of products including gummy bears, jams, and jellies benefit from that. When you use our Glucose Syrups for your industrial applications, you can achieve the taste, consistency and shine you desire for great mouthfeel and visual appeal, while also increasing the shelf life and stability of your product.
Our Glucose Syrups are widely used in the food industry and are also popular in the confectionery, bakery, ice-cream, jam, and beverage industries, to name just a few. Choosing Südzucker as your Glucose Syrup supplier guarantees expertise, quality, and efficiency for your product manufacturing.
