GLUCOSE SYRUP

Listing description
Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Glucose is a sugar. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch in the US, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup", but glucose syrup is also made from potatoes and wheat, and less often from barley, rice and cassava.
Detailed description
Glucose syrup containing over 90% glucose is used in industrial fermentation,[3] but syrups used in confectionery contain varying amounts of glucose, maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade, and can typically contain 10% to 43% glucose.[4] Glucose syrup is used in foods to sweeten, soften texture and add volume. By converting some of the glucose in corn syrup into fructose (using an enzymatic process), a sweeter product, high fructose corn syrup can be produced.
It was first made in 1811 in Russia.

Uses

Its major uses in commercially prepared foods are as a thickener, sweetener, and humectant (an ingredient that retains moisture and thus maintains a food's freshness).[10] Glucose syrup is also widely used in the manufacture of a variety of candy products.
In the United States, cane sugar quotas raise the price of sugar;[11] hence, domestically produced corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) are less expensive alternatives that are often used in American-made processed and mass-produced foods, candies, soft drinks and fruit drinks to help control cost.[10]
Glucose syrup was the primary corn sweetener in the United States prior to the expanded use of HFCS production. HFCS is a variant in which other enzymes are used to convert some of the glucose into fructose. The resulting syrup is sweeter and more soluble. Corn syrup is also available as a retail product.
Glucose syrup is often used as part of the mixture that goes into creating fake blood for films and television. Blood mixtures that contain glucose syrup are very popular among independent films and film makers, as it is cheap and easy to obtain.

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...

MOLASSES OR BLACK TREACLE(ORGANIC)

Listing description Molasses ,   or   black treacle   (British, for human consumption; known as molasses otherwise), is a   viscous   by-product of   refining   sugarcane   or   sugar beets   into   sugar .   Detailed description Molasses varies by amount of sugar, method of extraction, and age of plant. Molasses is primarily used for sweetening and flavoring foods. It is a defining component of fine commercial   brown sugar . Sweet sorghum   syrup may be colloquially called "sorghum molasses" in the southern United States.   Similar products include   treacle ,   honey ,   maple syrup ,   corn syrup , and   invert syrup . Most of these alternative   syrups   have milder flavors. Cane molasses Cane molasses is a common ingredient in baking and cooking. To make molasses, sugar cane is harvested and stripped of leaves. Its juice is extracted usually by cutting, ...
