CORN SYRUP(SOLID)

Listing description
Corn syrup is a food syrup which is made from the starch of corn (called maize in some countries) and contains varying amounts of maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade.
Detailed description
Corn syrup, also known as glucose syrup to confectioners, is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor. Corn syrup is distinct from high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is manufactured from corn syrup by converting a large proportion of its glucose into fructose using the enzyme D-xylose isomerase, thus producing a sweeter compound due to higher levels of fructose.
The more general term glucose syrup is often used synonymously with corn syrup, since glucose syrup is in the United States most commonly made from corn starch. Technically, glucose syrup is any liquid starch hydrolysate of mono-, di-, and higher-saccharides and can be made from any source of starch; wheat, tapioca and potatoes are the most common other sources.

Uses

Corn syrup's major uses in commercially prepared foods are as a thickener, a sweetener and as a humectant – an ingredient that retains moisture and thus maintains a food's freshness. Corn syrup (or HFCS) is the primary ingredient in most brands of commercial "pancake syrup", as a less expensive substitute for maple syrup.
In the United States, cane sugar quotas raise the price of sugar; hence, domestically produced corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup are less costly alternatives that are often used in American-made processed and mass-produced foods, candies, soft drinks and fruit drinks.
Glucose syrup was the primary corn sweetener in the United States prior to the expanded use of high fructose corn syrup production. HFCS is a variant in which other enzymes are used to convert some of the glucose into fructose.[14]:808–813 The resulting syrup is sweeter and more soluble. Corn syrup is also available as a retail product.
If mixed with sugar, water and cream of tartar corn syrup can be used to make sugar glass.

SUGAR BEET SYRUP

Listing description An unrefined sugary syrup can be produced directly from sugar beet. This thick, dark syrup is produced by cooking shredded sugar beet for several hours, then pressing the resulting mash and concentrating the juice produced until it has a consistency similar to that of   honey .   Detailed description   No other ingredients are used. In Germany, particularly the   Rhineland   area, this sugar beet syrup (called   Zuckerrüben-Sirup   or   Zapp   in German) is used as a spread for sandwiches, as well as for sweetening sauces, cakes and desserts. Commercially, if the syrup has a   dextrose equivalency (DE)   above 30, the product has to be   hydrolyzed   and converted to a high-fructose syrup, much like   high-fructose corn syrup , or isoglucose syrup in the EU. Many road authorities in North America use desugared beet molasses as de-icing or anti-icing products in winter control operations...

SORGHUM SYRUP

Listing description Sorghum syrup and hot   biscuits   are a traditional   breakfast   in the   Southern United States . Sorghum syrup is also used on   pancakes ,   cornmeal mush ,   grits   and other hot cereals. It can be used as a cooking ingredient with a similar sweetening effect as   molasses , though   blackstrap molasses   still has a higher nutritional value than sorghum syrup in most regards. Detailed description In the U.S. since the 1950s, sorghum has been raised primarily for forage and silage, with sorghum cultivation for cattle feed concentrated in the   Great Plains   ( Texas ,   Kansas , and   Nebraska   are the leading producers) where insufficient rainfall and high temperature make corn production unprofitable. Grain sorghum has also been used by the ethanol industry for quite some time because it yields about the same amount of ethanol per bushel as corn. As new-generatio...

EGGNOG SYRUP

Listing description Eggnog , historically also known (when alcoholic) as  milk punch  or  egg milk punch , is a rich, chilled,  sweetened , creamy  dairy -based  beverage  traditionally made with  milk ,  cream ,  sugar , whipped  eggs  (which gives it a frothy texture, and its name) and, in some contexts,  distilled spirits  such as  brandy ,  rum  or  bourbon . Detailed description Eggnog is traditionally consumed throughout  Canada  and the  United States  at  Christmas  every year, often from  American Thanksgiving through the end of the Christmas season. Eggnog has also gained popularity in  Australia  with supermarkets stocking pre-prepared versions of the drink. [4] [5]  A variety called  Ponche Crema  has been made and consumed in  Venezuela  and  Trinidad  since the 1900s, also in the Christmas seas...
