Description
A carbohydrate derived from purified starch, powdered (atomized) glucose syrup is a thickener that's easier to handle than conventional glucose syrup. Simply mix with 15% liquid to rehydrate.
It is generally used to improve bakeability, but can also be used as a sugar substitute.
Atomized glucose can be incorporated into ice cream mixes as a partial replacement for sugar. It is also used in the production of fruit jellies, nougatine, etc. It has anti-crystallizing properties, adds suppleness and texture to desserts and delicate confectionery, and helps reduce sugar content. It provides greater firmness, better extrusion and longer shelf life.
